The Proposal
The proposal involves an increase in the permitted annual extraction limit for an existing quarry operation located at Heemskirk Road, Granville Harbour. The quarry currently operates under a Level 1 permit, and proposed to increase maximum annual production to 19,995 tonnes per annum. The proposal is located on State Forest on the southern side of the Heemskirk Road, 18km from Zeehan, travelling towards Granville Harbour.
The proponent has lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to West Coast Council.
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).
Public Exhibition of Documentation
A copy of the permit application and all plans and other documentation submitted with the permit application (including the EER) were made available for public inspection. The public consultation period has now closed.
Environmental Effects Report
The purpose of the EER is to provide a source of information upon which interested individuals, groups, government agencies and the Board may consider the environmental impacts of the proposal.
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.
