Development application lodged - June 2024

Our Development Application (DA) for the Eyre Peninsula desalination project has been officially lodged with the State Commission Assessment Panel (SCAP).

This marks a significant milestone towards delivering a climate-independent source of drinking water to the Eyre Peninsula by mid-2026.

Our submission is the result of extensive technical detailed studies and valuable feedback from stakeholders resulting in key design changes to minimise environmental impacts. The DA includes detailed information on the proposed construction design, location of the intake and outfall pipelines, as well as findings of technical studies.

Moving forward, our DA will undergo thorough evaluation by various government agencies and regulators to ensure comprehensive scrutiny of all the aspects of the project.

Public consultation is being led independently by SCAP with the plans available online via their webpage and hard copies available at various locations:

• State Planning Commission: Level 9, 83 Pirie Street, Adelaide
• City of Port Lincoln: L1, Civic Centre, Tasman Tce.
• District Council of Lower Eyre Peninsula: 32 Railway Tce, Cummins
• The SA Water Project Information Centre: 6/50 Liverpool Street Port Lincoln

Members of the community are invited to make submissions in writing to the State Planning Commission before Thursday 25 July 2024, outlining any specific matters the planning authority should consider in the assessment of the proposal.
