The Utah Point Berth Project consists of two separate stages:
- Stage A: Dredging and Reclamation; and
- Stage B: Construction and Operation.
Stage A, dredging and reclamation works for the UPBP was approved by the Minister for Environment as an amendment to the existing Fortescue Metals Group (FMG) approval and managed according to the approved conditions. The works for Stage A have been successfully completed.
The EPA determined that Stage B, the construction and ongoing operation of stockyard and ship-loading facilities required formal environmental impact assessment. This assessment report relates only to Stage B.
