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

There is no mining permit for the site. ML3751 expired 28/2/2010.

Extractive resource Description:
Weathered sandstone which is used for an additive to the brick clay.

Significance:
The Willmott Report in 2001 proposed no specific protection for Brogden’s Pit as the resource was
small and there was widespread alternative supplies of the resource. The Noosa Plan 2006 does
not identify the site as a local resource but does identify the mining lease.

Separation areas:
There are no separation areas.

Transport route:
There are no transport routes.

Recommendation:
It is recommended Brogden’s Pit not be included in the new planning scheme for the following
reasons:
      the site was not identified as significant in the 2001 Willmott report;
      the site has not been active for some time;
      the mining lease expired over 6 years ago;
      the site is not identified as a local resource in The Noosa Plan.



4.3 Recommendations for new planning scheme
The following recommendations are made with regard to the inclusion or exclusion of resources to
be identified and protected in the new planning scheme:

    12. Include KRA 56 and KRA 57 in the Extractive Resource and Mining Overlay consistent with
        the SPP mapping.
    13. Include the following sites as mining lease3 and local resource areas and separation area in
        the Extractive Resource and Mining Overlay:
            o Nandroya (subject to current lease renewal approval)
            o Glenwood (subject to current lease renewal approval)
            o McGilchrist’s Pits (300 Kennedy’s Road only – review boundaries)
            o White Pit (subject to review of future use of the site)

    14. Exclude the following sites as local resource areas from the Extractive Resource and
        Mining Overlay:
           o Ringtail Creek
           o Kin Kin Creek sand
           o McGilchrist’s Pits (309 Kennedy’s Road)

    15. Exclude the following mining lease designations from the Extractive Resource and Mining
        Overlay:
            o McGilchrist’s Pits (309 Kennedys Road)
            o Brogden’s Pit
    16. Make clear statements in the Strategic Framework regarding extractive industry and mining
        in Noosa Shire. Make specific reference to the use, extent and transport routes for KRAs
        and local resources.

 Designation as mining lease is subject to further discussion with the State regarding the potential use of the
Mines Online Mapping site as the mining overlay.
