The Proposal
Huon Aquaculture Company Pty Ltd has proposed to construction and operate a Level 2 fish wet processing and value adding processing
facility capable of producing 14,000 tonnes of processed fish per year at 7218 Bass Highway, Sassafras.
The project involves the redevelopment of an existing food processing shed, extension of the building to incorporate value adding facilities, including hot and cold smokehouses, and the redevelopment of an existing wastewater treatment plant at the site to treat the facility's wastewater to a quality sufficient for the establishment of a full effluent reuse scheme on the property.
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 proponent has lodged a Development Application with a supporting Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) to
the Latrobe Council.
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.
