The Critical Infrastructure Program is currently being progressed by the Lord Howe Island Board with NSW National Parks & Wildlife Service, and their consultant project team.
Over the following year, there will be further opportunities for members of the community and key stakeholders to provide input. We would like to hear from you as part of the ongoing engagement process.
Consultations in 2024
Thank you to those who participated in both consultation sessions held last year in May and December. We received valuable feedback to help inform the Critical Infrastructure Program and concept master plans.
A summary of what we heard from the May 2024 consultations is available here:

The consultations sessions conducted in early December 2024 provided members of the community with an update on the technical studies in both the South Zone and North Zone and draft concept design plans and options – with a view to establishing a final master plan. The consultations also provided the latest information about progress towards a new vessel.
More information on concept design plans can be found here:

Feedback period ended on 31 January 2025. The Project Team are assessing feedback to inform the updates to the master plans for the North Zone and South Zone.
A summary of what we heard from the December 2024 / January 2025 consultation period will be made available here in March 2025.
Consultations in 2025
The Project Team will continue to engage and update community on the Critical Infrastructure Program in the bi-monthly Community Consultation Group Meetings.
Members of the community and stakeholders will have a further opportunity to provide feedback on the master plan for the North Zone and South Zone as part of the public exhibition process for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) in mid-2025.
