As I've explained previously to Senator Whish-Wilson, any project would require a risk assessment, and that would be dependent on the particular infrastructure proposed, and the environmental assets which it traversed and for which impacts should be considered. I've just read out to Senator Hanson what the environmental impact assessment would require. This would apply to any proposal, including the one you referred to in your question.
