The Proposal
Hazell Bros Group has proposed to operate a Level 2 quarry off the Bass Highway, Sassafras extracting and processing up to 100,000 cubic metres of dolerite resource per annum.
The proponent lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to the Meander Valley 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).
The EER was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of a 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. The public comment period is now closed.
Following the public comment period the proponent was required by the Board to prepare an EER Supplement to address issues raised in public
and Government Agency consultation.
