The pulp mill project was approved under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) on 4 October 2007. The approval conditions require the preparation of an Environmental Impact Management Plan (EIMP) for approval by the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment, Heritage and the Arts. The approval allows the EIMP to be submitted and approved in sections. The following sections (referred to as modules) provided below for public information have been approved by the Minister. Modules A and B were approved on 1 February 2008, with Module C approved on 2 April 2008. Module E was approved 23 May 2008. Modules C1, D, FGHK, IJ and O were approved on 5 January 2009.

In relation to the following modules (L, M and N) the Minister has advised Gunns that he requires the results of the hydrodynamic modelling required under condition 38 of the approval to be incorporated into the EIMP before he can approve them as a complete EIMP. However, the Minister has advised Gunns that he is satisfied with the content of these modules in so far as their material does not relate to or rely on the results of the hydrodynamic modelling.
