Tripoli Way Extension Project Advances to Next Stage After EIS Approval
The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and supporting studies have been completed, addressing key factors such as traffic, noise, ecology, heritage, water quality, flooding, and social impacts. The studies also propose measures to mitigate and manage these effects.
With the EIS now determined, the Tripoli Way Extension Project has been approved to proceed to the next phase, including the commencement of early works.
Additional approvals are currently in progress with Transport for NSW, Aboriginal Heritage, fisheries, and various utility authorities overseeing water, power, and telecommunications.

EIS Guide and Factsheets
Understanding the EIS - Guide and factsheets
We've simplified the complex technical studies and reports from our Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) into easy-to-read guide and fact sheets. These summaries highlight the key findings, methods used to assess potential project impacts, and how we will manage or minimise them. These fact sheets are designed to help you understand the EIS and make informed submissions.

Public Exhibition
Have your say on the Tripoli Way Extension (TWE) EIS
The public exhibition period closed on 28 June 2024.
The Tripoli Way Extension (TWE) is a significant local project and must go through a comprehensive environmental assessment process. Projects of this size and complexity can have major economic, environmental, and social impacts. The Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) assesses the environmental and social impacts of the TWE and will go on public exhibition for the community to have their say on the project before any final decision is made.
The EIS covers factors such as traffic, noise, ecology, heritage, water quality, flooding, and social impacts, as well as proposing measures to minimise and manage them.
The exhibition and submission process plays a vital role in the project development and provides an opportunity for the community to have their say.
What happens to my submission?
When the exhibition period ends all submissions will be submitted to the Department of Planning, Housing, and Infrastructure (DPHI). A submission report with responses will be developed and made publicly available. Following this, a final assessment of the EIS including feedback will be undertaken and a determination made. If the EIS is endorsed, this forms the project's approval.
