Hi, i was reviewing the EIS process regarding the Darwin Refinery and for the reasons you raised wondered about the timetable. Also there is the directive from NTEPA that the public consultation process be extended to a fwo month period.

Above is an exerpt from the AGM presentation. What seems clear from the exerpt together with other references is thst TNG, its cobsultants and the NTEPA are working through the EIS draft prior to formal filing and engaging the public process. Taking into account the designation of the proposed site, the needs of NT Govt, the absence of Native Title issues and the consultation process that appears to be  going on in the background, i think the 6 to 9 month timeframe is doable and possibly cautious. 

IIn saying that i would expect tge draft to be filed asap to enable the public consultation process to commence on the first permitted date under the statute. There is a prohibition on public exhibition during the statutory holiday period through to February from memory.

If the BoD are playing their "A" game iv got the EIS draft scheduled for filing January 2019.
