The video transitions to a frame with the text 'Environmental Assessment' in bold which quickly transitions to a heading labelled 'EPA Review Process' (not displayed: EPA is the acronym for Environmental Protection Authority) with the subheading '2 years', this subheading then transitions to a graphic displaying four icons labelled 1 to 4, each with an image of people with speech boxes above their heads". The narration continues "This process may take 2 years and includes multiple stages. At specific points, the public is invited to have a say".
The video transitions to a graphic with the title 'Project Referral' and the subheading 'Stage 1'. The narration continues, "The first stage is referral. This simply informs the EPA a project is being referred for assessment. The EPA then determines the level of assessment. The public has seven days to give their view on whether the project should be assessed, the level of assessment and key environmental factors".
The video transitions to a graphic with the title 'Environmental Assessment Scoping' and the subheading 'Stage 2'. The narration reads "Stage two is environmental assessment scoping a detailed outline of what will be included for assessment is provided to the EPA. The public has two weeks to provide feedback on the environmental scoping document".
The video transitions to a graphic with the title 'EPA Assessment' and the subheading 'Stage 3'. The narration reads, "Stage three is the big one, it's called environmental assessment. At this stage, a detailed environmental review document and supporting information is given to the EPA for review. This document will be released for public environmental review. The public will have between eight to twelve weeks to provide feedback. The EPA will then release its findings and recommendations with a twenty-one-day appeal period for the public".
The video transitions to a graphic with the title 'Ministerial Decision' and the subheading 'Stage 4'. The narration continues "Once this process is complete, the EPA recommends the project to the state environment minister for a decision and, where relevant, a subsequent decision by the federal environment minister".
The video transitions to a graphic with the title 'Environmental Assessment Process' and each of the prior four stages, Project Referral, Environmental Assessment Scoping, EPA Assessment and Ministerial Decision, are displayed below. The EPA's website address is displayed at the bottom of the frame, 'epa.wa.gov.au'. The narration continues, "The EPA has information on how to contribute to the review process on its website.
