It is on public exhibition now, which is the window when the community can put concerns or support on the official assessment record. Once it closes, that opportunity is gone.
Residents and businesses in and around Leppington (Camden) — anyone affected by traffic, noise, overshadowing, character or amenity changes during construction and once it is operating.
This is a State Significant Development, so it is large or sensitive enough to be decided by the NSW Department of Planning rather than the local council.
