Announcements
LionLink statutory consultation closed
Our consultation for LionLink ran for a period of eight weeks between January and March 2026 and has now closed.
As part of the consultation, we held a series of in-person exhibitions and online webinars where we presented our proposals and invited members of the community to share their feedback. We would like to thank everybody that took the time to review our proposals and provide their feedback.
We are now reviewing all feedback received during the consultation and this will be summarised in a Consultation Report which will form part of our application for development consent.
You can continue to find out more about our proposals on this website by viewing our project documents in the document library.
LionLink launches statutory consultation
NGV invited feedback on its latest proposals through an eight-week public consultation, running from Tuesday 13 January to Tuesday 10 March 2026. The consultation gave members of the community an opportunity to see how their comments have been considered since the previous consultations and provide further feedback on the plans, prior to NGV applying for development consent from the Planning Inspectorate.
