Extension of Time and Amendment - Approved Extractive Industry - Lot 63, 1265 Hopeland Road, Keysbrook

Background

The Shire has received a development application to both extend the timeframe (2 years) and increase the area of extraction of an approved Extractive Industry.

On 28 April 2014, development approval was granted for the extraction of mineral sands from the subject site, expiring 29 June 2023.

The subject application seeks to extend the extraction timeframe (2 years) to mine the remaining resource and extend the extraction area. The proposal includes the following:

• A mobile in-pit mine feed unit (screening plant) will be located at various locations within Lot 63 for the duration of the proposal.
• Earthen bunding up to 8m in height will be installed to manage noise.
• Operations shall occur only during the day period (7:00am to 7:00pm).
• Screened ore from the in-pit screening unit will be pumped from Lot 63 for further processing at the concentrator plant.
• Returned sand and clay tails will be similarly pumped back to the mined-out void and profiled for pit rehabilitation.
