2016-07-12 - Item 13 - Att 1 - Extractive Resources and Mineral Planning Study 2016

Separation Area:
The separation area is 200 m around the boundary of the local resource processing area.

Transport route:
There is no transport route mapped for this site.

Special considerations:
The site is in a water resource catchment overlay area, contains an environmental protection
corridor and riparian buffer area in the biodiversity overlay and includes land in the bushfire hazard
overlay. Covenants cover the areas in the environmental protection areas.

State interest include biodiversity, water quality and natural hazards risk and resilience.

Recommendation:

It is recommended that Nandroya be included in the new planning scheme as a local resource area
and mining lease for the following reasons:
      the mine has been operational over the last few years with notable changes in the
         landform.
      a mining lease renewal is currently lodged with the Department of Natural Resources and
         Mines.
