ENVIRONMENTAL PLANNING

2: Collect Information

There are many issues that could be relevant to your project. Information can be generally categorised into that required to determine: 

  • the assessment/approval process,
  • if an approval/permit is required, and
  • the extent and nature of the impacts.

Most of the information required to prepare a SER is available from one or more of the following sources: 

1. WebGIS EL Internal Server (available to Ausgrid employees only / Chrome compatible) WebGIS EL External Server (Chrome compatible)

2. Site inspection (SER Site Inspection Checklist)

3. Council / authority notification

4. Community consultation

Further information is provided in EGN 174B SER Guidance Notes that includes links to websites and other resources.

NOTE: The 21/40 day notifications to council is a useful way to help ensure all reasonable means were made to access relevant information. Use the standard template letters when notifying.
