The New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment has reconfirmed the Hawsons iron project, being developed by emerging producer Carpentaria Exploration, as a state significant development (SSD).
The SSD designation was first awarded in 2012 and is given to projects considered significant owing to their size. Carpentaria noted that the SSD status and the provision of revised environmental assessment requirements was in response to a revised project description, which aligns with the current prefeasibility production scenario.
