Eathorpe Battery is classified as a State Significant Development (SSD). The first report, called the Scoping Report, has been submitted to the NSW Department of Planning and Environment (DPE) in October 2022.
NSW DPE has issued a list of all the requirements that Neoen and specialist consultants must address to inform the next stage – the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the proposed battery project. These requirements are called Secretary’s Environmental Assessment Requirements (SEARs).

The Scoping Report and SEARs are available HERE.
