The Proposal
Break O'Day Council has proposed to operate a Level 2 quarry at Mining Lease 13M/2000. The project involves the expansion of an existing
quarry off Anson's Bay Road near Priory. Up to 10,000 cubic metres of material will be processed per annum.
The proponent lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to the Break O'Day Council, as planning authority.
The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
The EER was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of an EER which were provided by the Board.
Public Exhibition of Documentation and Public Representations
A copy of the permit application, and of all plans and other documentation submitted with the permit application (including the EER) were made available for public inspection.
