Environmental Approvals

Environment Effects Act 1978 (Vic)

The Victorian Minister for Planning has determined that the Environment Effects Statement (EES) undertaken by GB Energy under the Environment Effects Act 1978 is appropriate and supports the development of the Golden Beach Energy Storage Project. 

The EES process is a significant undertaking and underpins the development of the Project according to environmental parameters and processes.  

In addition, the Project has been classified as critical energy infrastructure by the Australian Government and is expected to support the market and the transition to large scale renewable generation. 

Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999

In parallel with the EES process, the Commonwealth Department of Environment and Energy has approved the Project under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (Cth) (EPBC Act). 

Likewise, this is a significant milestone in underpinning the environmental significance of the Project.
