Following a request from the Minister for Planning and Infrastructure, the Minister for the Environment and Heritage sought advice from the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) in late August 2002 pursuant to Section 16(j) of the Environmental Protection Act 1986 in relation to the alignment for Stage 8 of Roe Highway. Specifically, the Minister for the Environment and Heritage sought the EPA’s confirmation of the environmental values that would be impacted if Stage 8 of Roe Highway were to be constructed. This EPA report, published as Bulletin 1088, provides environmental advice on the key environmental values associated with the alignment of Roe Highway Stage 8 and likely impacts arising if construction was undertaken.
