​The Proposal

MJ Hansson Pty Ltd is proposing to extend the maximum extent that extraction may occur over at the existing Musketts Road Quarry. The quarry is currently a level 2 quarry with materials handling that is approved to extract and process up to 10,000 cubic meters of material per year. The quarry is also approved to undertake two blasts per year to liberate material. The regulatory limits, hours of operation or blasting frequency will not change; however, the life of the quarry will be extended by allowing extraction from within a larger footprint, and the maximum disturbed area will increase from 1 ha up to 4 ha.​​

​Development Application

This proposal was referred directly by Kingborough Council to the Board of the EPA on 30 September 2024 as a development application (DA number 2023/333) and therefore a Notice Of Intent (NOI) was not required.
