GWP BOND LODGED ENABLING COMMENCEMENT OF EARLY WORKS
Prior to the commencement of Early Works activities at the Project, lodgement of a $3.79
million rehabilitation bond and payment of $670,000 to the Native Vegetation Fund to satisfy
the Significant Environmental Benefit (SEB) obligations were required2. The rehabilitation
bond is required as part of the South Australian Department for Energy and Mining’s (DEM)
Rehabilitation Financial Assurance, with the SEB payment required as part of the Company’s
compliance with its approved Program for Environment Protection and Rehabilitation (PEPR).
Following satisfaction of these environment compliance obligations, Andromeda was able
to commence Early Works at the GWP.
