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

Special considerations:
The site contains some areas of environmental protection and bushfire hazard under the overlays.
State interests include biodiversity, water quality and natural hazard risk and resilience.

Recommendation:

It is recommended White Pit continue to be included as a local resource area and separation area
and mining lease until such time as there is a decision on the future of the site, as the mining
leases are still valid.

The future use of White Pit can be considered as part of preparing the new planning scheme and
should involve engagement with the local community.
