The original development application for the mine has undergone significant changes and there is a lot of information to review in the new Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) which is currently on exhibition for the community.
To help community members make informed submissions there are two opportunities to meet with representatives from the NSW Department of Planning and MidCoast Council.
Anyone can drop in and have a chat on Tuesday, September 6 from 12pm to 3pm at Council Chambers or attend a presentation followed by a question and answer session by the NSW Department of Planning from 5:15pm to 7pm at the Senior Citizen Centre, Hume Street. Gloucester.

MidCoast Council are urging all stakeholders and members of the community to thoroughly examine the issues and provide a submission to the NSW Department of Planning by 14 October.
