For the purposes of these works, Transport for New South Wales is theproponent and the determining authority under Part 5 of the Environmental Planning and AssessmentAct 1979 (EP&A Act).The purpose of the REF is to describe the Proposal, to document the likely impacts of the Proposal on theenvironment, and to detail protective measures to be implemented.The description of the Proposal and associated environmental impacts have been undertaken in contextof clause 228 of the Environmental Planning and Assessment Regulation 2000, the Threatened SpeciesConservation Act 1995 (TSC Act), and the Australian Government’s Environment Protection andBiodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act). In doing so, the REF helps to fulfil the requirements ofsection 111 of the EP&A Act that Transport for New South Wales examines and takes into account to thefullest extent possible, all matters affecting or likely to affect the environment by reason of the activity.The findings of the REF will be considered when assessing:• Whether the Proposal is likely to have a significant impact on the environment andtherefore the necessity for an environmental impact statement to be prepared andapproval to be sought from the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure under Part 5.1 ofthe EP&A Act.• The significance of any impact on threatened species as defined by the TSC Act, in section5A of the EP&A Act and therefore the requirement for a Species Impact Statement.• The potential for the Proposal to significantly impact a matter of national environmentalsignificance or Commonwealth land and the need to make a referral to the AustralianGovernment Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population andCommunities for a decision by the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment onwhether assessment and approval is required under the EPBC Act.Ref No: 2260812 3
