In 2025, Chalice undertook landholder engagement seeking access for environmental surveys along potential infrastructure corridors. These surveys are now complete.
Thank you to the many landholders who gave their time, granted access to their properties and shared valuable local information. Your input, alongside Project design requirements, has helped inform the proposed infrastructure corridor route.
A preferred infrastructure corridor has now been identified for the next stage of assessment. From May 2026, our team is contacting landholders along that corridor, by letter and in person, to talk through what is proposed and the further field investigations planned for late 2026.
If you requested a copy of your 2025 survey report, our team will be in touch shortly. If your property has been identified as part of the next stage of assessment, we will contact you directly to walk through what this means and answer any questions.

Project status
The Project is in the Feasibility and Permitting Stage, where it is being assessed to determine whether it is viable, what environmental impacts may occur and, how these will be managed as part of the approval process.
Subject to receipt of approvals, Chalice is aiming to make a Financial Investment Decision (FID) to construct the Project in 2028.
Chalice will promptly advise of any changes that may be required to infrastructure routes based on operational requirements or as a result of approvals processes.
Landholder Guide
We have prepared a Landholder Guide for landholders along the proposed Gonneville Project infrastructure corridors. It explains who Chalice is, why we are getting in touch, what we are asking for, and what your rights are. It also covers the field investigations, the Field Investigation Land Access Consent Form, the compensation framework and how to lodge a question or complaint.
If your property has been identified on a current corridor, you will have received this Guide directly, with a letter from us. If you would like a copy and have not yet received one, you can download the Landholder Guide here or call our Community Line on 0487 371 961.
The Guide will be reissued during the engagement period as the project progresses; the latest version is always the version on this page.

There are many ways to access more information Chalice and our operations. We’re available online, over the phone or you can check the Frequently Asked Questions page on this site.
Investigations and consultation undertaken to date
As part of the Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) several potential routes for infrastructure corridors were investigated to better understand the local environment.
This included environmental surveys which took place over Spring 2025, which allowed Chalice to identify potential impacts of the Project, including land use, environment, and desktop Aboriginal cultural heritage.
The survey outcomes are now finalised and will be reviewed alongside landholder feedback and Project design requirements to help guide the next stage of planning. These specialist investigations informed the definition of the proposed infrastructure corridor route. Refer to Figure on the left.
Chalice will consult with all landholders on the proposed route. Water will be supplied from the Alkimos Wastewater Treatment Plant (Alkimos Facility) and power will be via the South West Interconnected System (SWIS) grid.
