Abstract

Scoping seeks to decide which environmental topics are to be examined in EIA and environmental assessments and how much effort should be expended - either a Simple or Detailed assessment. Scoping can be an on-going activity that is reactivated at key stages in the project planning process as new information or available alternatives are narrowed to a preferred approach to the project. It can also be a useful exercise to carry out on projects that have not been developed for a period of time.
