The Commission is the consent authority in respect of the Applicant’s development application under section 4.5(a) of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act) and clause 8A of State Environmental Planning Policy (State and Regional Development) 2011 (SEPP SRD). This is because: • the Project is SSD under section 4.36 of the EP&A Act as the Project constitutes development for the purposes of coal mining, consistent with Schedule 1, clause 5 of the SEPP SRD; and • the Department received more than 25 submissions from the public objecting to the Project. Professor Mary O’Kane AC, Chair of the Commission, nominated Gordon Kirkby (Panel Chair), Wendy Lewin, and Steve O’Connor to constitute the Commission determining the Bylong Coal Project. 1.1 Site and locality According to the Applicant’s Bylong Coal Project Environmental Impact Statement, dated September 2015 (EIS), the Project is a proposed open cut and underground thermal coal mine for a greenfield site in the Bylong Valley. -
