On 4 June 2025, NSW Planning accepted an Enforceable Undertaking from Shoalhaven Starches Pty Ltd, for undertaking unauthorised construction works associated with the Rail Line and Dryer Baghouse modification to the Shoalhaven Starches Expansion project. The modification had not been approved by NSW Planning at the time construction works took place. Shoalhaven Starches Pty Ltd has undertaken to:

• Pay Shoalhaven Landcare Association Incorporated $30,000 for use towards the Shoalhaven Riverwatch Oyster Reef Project
• Pay Shoalhaven City Council $25,000 towards the Bomaderry Creek Weed Control and Revegetation Project.
• Pay Shoalhaven City Council $31,275 towards the Reid Park Upgrade Project.
• Plant native trees along the boundary of Shoalhaven Starches’ Bolong Road operations to provide additional screening of the factory for the community, and plant trees along the proposed rail line extension, to the value of $68,481.86.
• Engage a consultant to develop and deliver a training package to Shoalhaven Starches directors and senior managers, on the key requirements and responsibilities under Part 4 of the Environmental Planning & Assessment Act 1979 (EP&A Act), to minimise Shoalhaven Starches risk of future breaches of the Part 4 of the EP&A Act.

The modification was subsequently approved on 5 June 2025. Further details on the enforceable undertaking can be found on the NSW Planning website.
