Review of Environmental Factors (REF)

We're planning to improving the wastewater system in North Richmond and Richmond. This work will ensure the reliability and resilience of our services and meet the demands of a growing community in the Hawkesbury.

We have prepared a Review of Environmental Factors (REF), guided by the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979. The REF looks at all the potential benefits and environmental impacts of the project as we build it and once it's up and running. The REF needs to cover all scenarios, even though there will be opportunities to improve or even eliminate some of these impacts as we continue to fine-tune this project. It includes:

• the background to this project,
• proposed construction activities, including work locations, and
• potential environmental impacts, including traffic and access.

You can view and download the REF from the Document Library.
