Linear Infrastructure projects due to their geographical and transformational change nature are generally designated state significant / major project / priority planning status with approvals managed at State government level but often with environmental approvals from the Commonwealth Government.
Stakeholders involved are extensive, varied and often emotive. Local Councils have vested interests in their patch. Community, Cultural / Indigenous and business associations will have their positions along with sitting political representatives.
