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

2012 MCU 12-0216 – approval was given for a quarry, the extracted material is proposed to be
used as fill. CSR are seeking to include their other site – White Pits in the Urban footprint and use
the extracted material from 300 Kennedy’s Road to fill the site.

This operation has not commenced.

      309 Kennedys Road, mining lease ML3671 expired 24/7/14.

Extractive resource description:
This is the largest tertiary clay deposit in Noosa Shire.

Significance:
The site was significant as a tertiary clay deposit and was a major resource and of importance to
the former Cooroy Birckworks which is now closed. The site is no longer operational and there is
no current lease over 309 Kennedy’s Rd.

The site’s significance to CSR has somewhat changed from a supply source of clay for the brick
works to a supply source for fill of their other landholding at White Pit.

The Noosa Plan currently identifies this area as a local resource area, separation area and mining
lease.

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

Transport route:
Transport separation area around Lamonts Road

Special considerations:
The site contains environmental protection corridors and riparian buffer areas in the biodiversity
overlay and bushfire hazard. State interests include biodiversity, water quality and natural hazards
risk and resilience.

Constraints to exploitation:
The site was exploited for many years when the brickworks were open. There could be some
conflict of landuse with the encroaching residential development if it was to begin operations again.

Recommendation:

      300 Kennedys Road

It is recommended 300 Kennedy’s Road be included in the new planning scheme as a local
resource area and separation area as the mining lease and MCU approval for extraction is still
current. Realign the local resource separation area.

      309 Kennedys Road
It is recommended 309 Kennedy’s Road be excluded from the new planning scheme as the site is
not operational and there is no current mining lease on the site.
