Media Release - Department of Planning Sydney: 27 May 2008 MORE TIME FOR PUBLIC COMMENT ON POWER STATION PLANS The NSW Department of Planning has extended the exhibition time for a proposed new power station on the State’s mid-north coast, by nearly three weeks.
The proponent, International Power Pty Ltd, is seeking approval to build and operate a $50 million distillate-fired power station, 24 kilometres south-west of Port Macquarie near the town of Kew.
The proposal also includes a switchyard, water storage and treatment facilities, staff amenities and landscaping on the four hectare site.
The Environmental Assessment for the power station has been on public exhibition since Wednesday 30 April 2008 and it was due to end on Monday 2 June.
But members of the public now have until Friday 20 June 2008 to lodge a submission with the Department.
Following strong public interest in the proposal the Department extended the exhibition time to ensure all interested parties had enough time to comment.
