Marinus Link

Throughout the month of July, the team at Marinus are participating in a workplace wellbeing challenge. Under the guidance of the motivational Sherri Ring, teams of 5 are banding together to earn points and compete for the title of wellbeing champions!   We are now at the halfway point of the challenge, and as it stands, Team Fuchsia (pictured in their 'Back to the Fuchsia' hats) are close contenders for the title (watch out Team Purple!). Some daily challenges include eating a healthy lunch, walking meetings, one song dance parties and taking gratitude moments.   Mid-winter slump is real, and this challenge has proven that with a little motivation and camaraderie, we can achieve anything! Good luck to the teams for the rest of the challenge – we will keep you posted with the champions!

Public exhibition for Marinus Link’s Combined Commonwealth Environmental Impact Statement and Victorian Environment Effects Statement (EIS/EES) is planned to close at the end of this week. Submissions on Marinus Link’s EIS/EES and draft Planning Scheme Amendment (PSA) are planned to close at 11:59pm on Friday 12 July 2024. Submissions can be made in writing through the Engage Victoria website – https://lnkd.in/gV63TGJi. Thank you to all our stakeholders and community members who read the documents and engaged with us throughout public exhibition. The next step in our environmental assessment process for Victorian matters is a Directions Hearing, held on Tuesday 6 August 2024, to consider the arrangements and timetable for a public hearing regarding the Victorian EES and draft PSA. The hearing will be facilitated by an independent Inquiry and Advisory Committee, appointed by the Victorian Minister for Planning. We will be providing further updates on our website throughout Marinus Link’s environmental assessment process, including updates regarding Commonwealth and Tasmanian matters.
