         SUNSHINE COAST REGIONAL COUNCIL APPLICATION REFERENCE:MCU1210216


         On behalf of the applicant, CSR Building Products Limited ("CSRlJ), Groundwork Plus provides the following
         response to Sunshine Coast Regional Council’s ("Council") Information Request dated 12 February 2013 relating to
         the abovementioned application.


         This response comprises a response to all of the items in Council’s Information Request and as such, it is
         requested that Council continue with their assessment of the application.

         Pursuant to Section 278 of the Sustainable Planning Act 2009, we provide the following response to Council’s
         Information Request:


         Issue


         It is understood that the mines have approximately 7 to 12 years of clay material available for use in making bricks
         and that were this to continue the material would be mined over a long period of time. This proposal comparatively
         seeks to remove the material in a much shorter, intensive period (i.e. 2 years) and therefore has the potential to
         have greater or additional impacts.


         Information Required


         1        A   comparison between the past operations that have been conducted under current approved
                  Environment Authority for the mining lease and the proposed operations. This should include:


                  (a) extraction rates;
                  (b) intemal and external vehicle movements;
                  (c) staff numbers; and
                  (d) machinery/equipment required.                                             ~~                      <Z;~~.~~~
