The Proposal
Beams Bros Pty Ltd is seeking approval for an increase in production at its dolomite quarry at Saundridge Road, Blackwood Creek, Cressy to 45,000 tonnes product per year, the inclusion of materials handling and processing as part of the activity and the expansion of the quarrying footprint.
The Existing EPN 7773/1 has a production limit of 45,000 cubic metres per annum (m3/a) based on a 2014 amendment of the permit (Notice of Registration No. 1514) increasing the limt from 10,000 to 45,000 m3/a and adding materials handling to the permitted activity. However, examination of the permitting history for the activity has uncovered that planning amendment was invalid and that a new permit should have been sought.
