Lot 226 represents a small but significant regional sand resources in the Peel Region, because it is strategically located adjacent to the Nambeelup Industrial Area. State Planning Policy No 2.4 Basic Raw Materials requires that identified sand resources are utilised prior to sterilisation, in line with State Planning Policy No 2.5, Agricultural and Rural Land Use Planning. Whilst the site lies just outside the area covered by SPP 2.4 (2000) it will be incorporated under the umbrella of the draft SPP 2.4 (2018) when the policy is finalised and released. The sand is anticipated to be mainly supplied into the Peel Region Scheme area. Landform restoration and rehabilitation to improved parkland pasture is to progressively follow excavation. The extraction of sand is seen as an interim use of the land prior to utilisation of the area as rural land. The final land surface is compatible with the surrounding landform at an elevation of 0.5 metres above the highest known temporary perched water table, which is 2 metres above the regional groundwater table, in compliance with DWER Guidelines. The proposal complies with the EPA Generic Buffer Guidelines to sensitive premises. Hours of operation will be 6.00 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Saturday inclusive, excluding public holidays. This is similar to the operations of nearby quarries in the local area. Perimeter fences and locked gates will be maintained to prevent illegal entry. Warning signs will be maintained as required by the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety and the Shire of Murray.

Maximum volume is around 500 000 tonnes. Life of project 10 years Area cleared per year 1 - 4 hectares but dependent on contracts won. Total clearing required, 12.7 hectares Dewatering requirements Nil Maximum depth of excavations 1 - 5 metres below natural land surface. PROCESSING Resources No processing proposed at this stage. A screening plant remains a possibility to produce specialty sands if required. Water requirements Nil Water supply source Sump on site subject to Licence otherwise water will be brought to site. INFRASTRUCTURE Total area of plant and stock Only mobile equipment. No structures. Fuel storage No fuel storage TRANSPORT Truck movements Variable but approximately 6 – 25 laden trucks per day but up to 100 trucks for day for short period to fill large contracts if won. Access Access road to Paterson Road WORKFORCE Construction Access road only. Operation 2 - 4 persons Hours of operation Hours of operation, will be 6.00 am to 6.00 pm Monday to Friday inclusive, excluding public holidays for processing and excavation. Loading and transport from site may commence at 6.00 am Monday to Friday inclusive, excluding public holidays Excavation – Rehabilitation Management Plan, Proposed Sand Excavation, Lot 226, Paterson Road, Nambeelup Management The excavation, processing and environmental management proposed has been designed to reflect best practice and utilises Commonwealth and State Guidelines. Safety Management All quarries operate under the provisions of the Mines Safety and Inspection Act 1994 and Regulations 1995. These are administered by the Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety. The regulation is achieved through the DMIRS Safety Regulations and Reporting Systems (SRS). All quarries on commencement are required to register with the SRS system. As part of the registration a Project Management Plan is required to be produced and lodged online. Officers from the Safety Division of the DMIRS regularly inspect the operations in relation to health and safety. Environmental Management The environmental management is designed to reflect best practise, outlined in particular in; Department of Resources, Energy and Tourism (Commonwealth), 2011, A Guide to Leading Practice Sustainable Development in Mining, and guidelines produced by Environmental Protection Authority, Department of Water, Environment Regulation, Department of Mines Industry Regulation and Safety, Western Australia Planning Commission and the Local Authority. An Environmental Risk Assessment has been developed based on the EPA Environmental Factors which have been identified by the EPA as the factors to be considered when reviewing environmental impact and outcomes in Western Australia. The EPA Factors have been used and added to in the following table, which provides for the environmental risk if not mitigated or managed and the assessed environmental risk when the proposed design and management procedures are effectively implemented. All the EPA environmental factors, together with the other factors, are provided in the Environmental Risk Table to show that some are not relevant to this proposal. Leaving them out may lead to some uncertainty in a reviewer’s mind. The Environmental Risk Matrix was developed to the principles of AS/NZS ISO 140001:2004 (Environmental Management Systems) and AS/NZS ISO 19011:2014 (Guidelines for auditing Management Systems). The principles of AS/NZS 31000:2009 (Risk Management Guidelines) are also used when considering any risks. The Risk Table includes references to the various parts of the document to enable easy review and provides a summary of the project and its management. The risk assessment table also forms the basis of an auditable matrix.

  • Landcorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey
    LandCorp Denmark East Development Precinct Flora and Fauna Survey October 2016 Executive summary Introduction Through the Royalties for Regions “Growing our South” initiative, the Shire of Denmark has received funding to provide a second crossing of the Denmark River, to upgrade approximately 6.5 km of local roads and to support the delivery of an industrial estate adjacent to McIntosh Road. GHD Pty Ltd (GHD) was commissioned by LandCorp to undertake a biological assessment of the project survey area. The purpose of the assessment was to identify and describe flora, vegetation and fauna within the survey area. The outcomes of the assessment will be used in the environmental assessment and approvals process and will identify the possible need for, and scope of, further field investigations will inform environmental impact assessment of the road upgrades. The survey area is approximately 68.5 ha in area and includes a broad area of land between Scotsdale Road and the Denmark River and the road reserve and adjacent land along East River Road and McIntosh Road between the Denmark Mt Barker Road and South Western Highway. A 200 m section north and south along the Denmark Mt Barker Road from East River Road was also surveyed. The biological assessment involved a desktop review and three separate field surveys, including a winter flora and fauna survey, spring flora and fauna survey and spring nocturnal fauna survey. Fauna surveys also included the use of movement sensitive cameras in key locations. Key biological aspects The key biological aspects and constraints identified for the survey area are summarised in the following table.
