F.3 Overview of the Methodology<br />
The assessment of potential EMI impacts will require a range of tiered studies to be<br />
undertaken commencing during Project Feasibility and culminating in the Planning<br />
Application stage. After that, some monitoring and mitigation works may need to be<br />
undertaken during the early part of the Operations stage.<br />
An overview of the works that should be considered by the developer is presented in the<br />
table below.<br />
