The Proposal
Swift Australia Pty Ltd proposed to construct and operate a wastewater treatment plant at their existing abattoir. The proposal is
located at 68 Morrison Avenue, Loorana and is designed to treat up to 260 Kilolitres per day of effluent.
The proponent lodged a Development Application with a supporting Development Proposal and Environmental Management Plan (DPEMP) to
the King Island 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 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.
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
DPEMP) were made available for public inspection. The public comment period is now closed.
Following the public consultation the proponent was required by the Board to prepare a DPEMP supplement to address issues raised in the
submissions.
