Have your say
Star of the South’s environmental assessments will be available for public review and comment between 18 May and 29 June 2026.
We’ve prepared a draft Commonwealth Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the entire project, and a Victorian Environment Effects Statement (EES) for the project’s works in Victoria.
The draft EIS provides information about:
- The project and why it’s proposed
- How it will be constructed, operated and decommissioned
- The environmental studies we’ve completed
- Potential impacts and how we propose to address them.
The EES assesses works in Victoria to construct, operate and decommission underground cables.
Anyone will be able to make a written submission on the draft EIS and the EES during the public review period.
Read our Guide to the Environmental Assessments to learn more.
