The Proposal
The proposal is for an increase in annual production at an existing quarry to a maximum of 50,000 cubic metres of hard rock processed per annum, and will also involve an increase in the area of the mining lease to allow for the expansion.

Drilling and blasting of rock will continue to occur (up to approximately 6 blasts per annum) and crushing and screening of material will also continue to occur.
