The Proposal
Gowing Bros Limited is proposing to conduct intermittent blasting at the Logie Farm Gravel Quarry. The site is located at 440 Prossers Road Richmond and 59 Logie Farm Road, Orielton, approximately 4 kilometres northeast of Richmond. The site straddles two council boundaries (Sorell and Clarence City Councils) and two Development Applications have been lodged.
The proposal does not involve a production increase from the currently permitted 15,000 cubic metres in extraction or the 5,000 cubic metres per year in materials handling.
This proposal involves blasting at the existing mining leases (1722P/M and 2044P/M) to enable the continued extraction of dolerite, to be used as road base, and to create benching for safety purposes.
