Project Description
In
2007 the Lloyd Consulting team was awarded the opportunity to manage and
deliver an EIS with Delfin Lend Lease under the new IPA amendment in Queensland. Delfin Lend Lease
has proposed to develop the Rocky Springs site, 15 minutes south of Townsville
as a master planned integrated community with an expected population of approximately
39,000 residents, by 2045. An EIS was triggered for this development under the EPBC
Act and IPA bilateral agreement due to the presence of the endangered Black-throated
Finch and threatened Squatter Pigeon on site.
