An EIS is necessary for the proposed works on the former Union Carbide site at Rhodes and the strip of dioxin contaminated sediments in Homebush Bay because the site is State Significant Development.

The matters to be covered in the EIS are set out in the Director General of the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning's Requirements. ("the DG's Requirements").

The DG's Requirements were determined by reference to various government departments over 2 years ago, but have been "refreshed" recently. They have never been the subject of community consultation. This was the normal practice, but there have been exceptions such as the EIS for the destruction of Orica's HCB's at Botany. The DG's Requirements consist of a series of letters from various government departments. They have been made available to members of the EIS CLG for Review.

If digital copies are made available either copies will be made available here or links will be provided to the web site containing them.
