Environment Protection Authority Victoria ( EPA) is reviewing the licences of the three brown coal-fired power stations – AGL Loy Yang A, IPM Loy Yang B and Energy Australia Yallourn – as part of its periodic licence-review program.
The three power station operators’ responses to issues raised in part 1 and 2 of the community consultation, the responses to community submissions and the power stations' air modelling reports are available to download from Engage Victoria.
As part of the review process, an independently chaired community conference will be held on Wednesday 22 August, 2018.
The purpose of the conference is:
- for EPA and the licence operators to gain an understanding of community concerns and issues that need to be considered as part of the licence review process
- to identify potential resolutions for EPA and the licence operators to consider in the licence review process.
All views raised in the submissions that have been lodged in this process to date will also be considered in the decisions EPA makes on the power station licences.
