Stage 3: Public Participation 
In NSW and in most EIA 
systems, the public is typically 
given about 30 days to 
comment on an EIS 
document. 
These comments can be used: 
- to amend the document. 
- to consider 
alternatives/mitigating 
measures. 
- to contest a development if 
the EIS is taken to court.
