We are concerned about the lack of willing and meaningful engagement from senior stakeholders in the project to date. The business operates a dairy farm enterprise and is affected both by the presence of an Above Ground Installation permanently affecting an area of 6.6 acres, while the pipeline, which runs straight through the middle of the farm, affects an area in excess of 10 acres during construction. This will have a major impact to the operation of the farm, and necessitate a permanent reduction in livestock due to loss of land. Furthermore, there is a concern that the construction works will irreparably damage the soil structure, reducing its ability to grow crops and becoming more prone to flooding. Without confirmation that the land severed during construction will continue to be able to be accessed, the farm may be subject to an even greater temporary loss of land.
