The community is being encouraged to have their say on future activities at the port of Esperance following the release of a draft environmental assessment report, licence renewal and lead removal plan.
Department of Environment and Conservation (DEC) Director of Environmental Regulation Robert Atkins said that under the Environmental Protection Act 1986, the community and other stakeholders have 21 days to submit their comments on the three documents.
"The public comment period closes on Tuesday, 30 September, at 5pm, and it presents a valuable opportunity for people to contribute their ideas and comments on the future management of bulk granular materials through the port, as well to voice any concerns they may have," Mr Atkins said.
