Preliminary Review form

 NEW TEMPLATE 

New template toguide the project developers in evaluating the eligibility of their projects and compiling all necessary information for a fast and successful preliminary review process. 

The preliminary review process gives an early indication to project developers, before resources are committed, of the eligibility of a project. This step is not a certification decision, but it helps project developers close project design gaps early in the process. This new template provides more structured guidance to streamline this process. It is to be submitted along with the Project Design Document, the stakeholder consultation report, and all other documents required for preliminary review. 

BENEFITS


  • Streamlined preliminary review process
  • Guidance on project eligibility and relevant requirements
  • Concrete questions in checklist format guide project developers
  • Project design gaps are identified early in the process
  • Integrated decision-making to keep communications together

The Preliminary Review Form is now released for public use and will become a mandatory part of the project development cycle for all projects submitting requests for preliminary review from 08 March 2022. Before that date, using the form is optional.
