The Proposal
Stornoway Quarrying proposed to increase production at their existing Raeburn quarry, off Hobart Road Breadalbane, to 210,000 cubic metres of product per annum. The operation would include the use of blasting. It was also proposed to recycle building materials and soils.
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 lodged a Development Application with a supporting Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) to the Northern Midlands 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.

DPEMP) were advertised for public comment. The public comment period is now closed.
Following the public comment period the proponent was required by the Board to prepare a DPEMP Supplement to address issues raised in public
and Government Agency consultation.
