Class environmental assessment PROCESS

The study was initiated as a Group ‘C’ project; however, through the design phase, it has been reclassified as a Group ‘B’ project. The Detail Design is following the approved planning process under the Class Environmental Assessment for Provincial Transportation Facilities (2000) for a Group ‘B’ project. This includes an assessment of potential impacts of the project works on the study area and the development of mitigation measures to address environmental concerns.

The Class Environmental Assessment (Class EA) process includes on-going opportunities for public involvement. Comments can be submitted to the project team by telephone, email or through the project website. All comments received, with the exception of personal information, will become part of the public record.

An Online Public Information Centre (PIC) was held for the study September 7 to October 6, 2023 to provide stakeholders with the opportunity to discuss the project, view project materials and provide comments.

At the completion of the study, a Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be prepared to document the Environmental Assessment Study for the project including:
​
  • A summary description of the project;
  • An outline of the Class EA process;
  • A description of significant transportation engineering and environmental issues and how they have been addressed;
  • A summary of stakeholder consultation; and
  • A detailed description of the design, including the proposed mitigation strategy.

Upon completion of the study, the Transportation Environmental Study Report (TESR) will be submitted for a 30-day comment period and will be available for public review on this website as it is finalized. Notification advising of the PIC and of the availability of the TESR, will be advertised in the Perth Courier and sent to the project mailing list.
