Hobart RWY 30 Flight Path RNP-AR - Environmental Impact Assessment
Dear Airservices Australia,
Re: Hobart RWY 30 Flight Path RNP-AR - Environmental Impact Assessment
Could I please obtain a copy of the referral and Environmental Impact Assessment (as laid out in the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) undertaken in the Primrose Sands TAS area in particular Carlton Bluff.
As no flights existed over Primrose Sands pre flight changes of 2017, this would have been a mandatory requirement as it triggered ASA's own referral thresholds for locations newly overflown.
Yours faithfully,
Cathy Minnucci
