The ESG has followed direct and online reports on the ongoing dust
plumes emerging from the eastside reclamation works. It is the group’s
understanding that works were ordered to cease immediately this
happened by the Department of the Environment and we welcome the
action taken.

The Eastside reclamation works fall under an EIA which clearly
stipulates that all works must comply with protective and mitigating
measures to prevent material entering the marine environment. Clearly
this did not happen on this occasion and the ESG calls for TNG to
ensure such lapses do not re-occur in future. Can we expect a statement
issued by the company detailing what happened on this occasion?
While not toxic the plumes will have an impact on the marine
environment.
The ESG hopes action will be taken to eliminate these risks and apply
best practice while continuing round the clock vigilance which a project
of this size and scale demands.
