GAWB has taken the next step in its planning for the future water needs of the Gladstone region by preparing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for the Gladstone-Fitzroy Pipeline.

GAWB is carrying out preparations for the pipeline now, including seeking appropriate environmental approvals, to ensure that the pipeline and its associated infrastructure, should government approve its construction, can be constructed within two years as soon as increased demand or low dam levels trigger the need.

Environmental Impact Statement
GAWB released its EIS for the Gladstone-Fitzroy Pipeline Project to the community for a 60-day public comment period in late 2008. The EIS assesses the environmental, social and economic impacts of the project and proposes mitigation measures to manage these impacts where required. The EIS addresses the topics outlined in the final Terms of Reference issued by the Queensland Coordinator-General in October 2007.

EIS Supplementary Report
GAWB has prepared a Supplementary Report  in response to the submissions received from stakeholders regarding the Gladstone-Fitzroy Pipeline Project's EIS.  The main purpose of the Supplementary Report is to formally address and respond to issues raised in submissions about the EIS.

The Supplementary Report has been provided to the Coordinator-General for his consideration while preparing his evaluation report for the project's EIS.  Once complete, the Coordinator-General's report will be sent to the Australian Government's Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts (DEWHA) for consideration as part of the Department's final assessment of the project.
