Hawsons significant to NSW

The New South Wales Department of Planning and Environment has reconfirmed the Carpentaria Exploration's Hawsons iron project 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 said 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.
