ECNT is concerned about the Northern Territory Government’s proposed plans to develop Middle Arm Peninsula in Darwin Harbour, of which the Project is a core component. If these plans progress, there will be significant cumulative impacts on air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, waste
discharges, and the habitat for many threatened or protected species including migratory shorebirds, turtles, and dugongs. There may also be significant cumulative biodiversity impacts associated with land clearing and habitat fragmentation. Further, there may be adverse impacts on industries such as pearling, ecotourism, barramundi, not to mention the recreational fishing industry. ECNT is concerned that project based and piecemeal environmental assessment of developments on the Middle Arm Peninsular will be inadequate to appropriately assess the impacts on Middle Arm (and Darwin Harbour more broadly) of these proposed developments. ECNT believes that a comprehensive and strategic environmental assessment of Darwin Harbour is needed to appropriately address community, industry and environmental concerns about these proposed developments as soon as possible.

Note how their concern is with the entire strategy of the NT government to develop Middle Arm. While the concerns can be seen as legitimate, it seems onerous on TNG that they would have to justify the entire NT government approach to redevelopment of the area. Wouldn't have been the government's job to assess the impact of their proposal?
