The Proposal
Artec Pty Ltd has proposed to expand production at their existing woodchip mill at 135 Mobil Road, Bell Bay.
The proponent has lodged a Development Application with a supporting Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) to the George Town Council.
The application has been referred to the Board of the Environment Management Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
The purpose of the DPEMP is to provide a source of information upon which interested individuals, groups, government agencies and the Board may consider the environmental and planning impacts of the proposal.
The DPEMP was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of a DPEMP which were provided by the Board.
