Insights | January 2021 Executive summary Land Insights act for Capitary No. 3 Pty Ltd (Midland Brick) and lodge this application on their behalf. The application is for an extension of the Development Approval (DA) and Extractive Industry Licence (EIL) for the continued extraction of clay at their ‘Chitty’ quarry, located at Lot M1919 Salt Valley Road, Hoddys Well. The DA and EIL application applies to the current/existing areas used for excavation (including overburden and topsoil stockpiles, clay stockpiles, water detention basins, access tracks etc) and for the proposed expansion areas and new pit areas as shown on the attached plans. Development Approval and an Extractive Industry Licence were last issued on the 12th October 2011 for a period of 10 years. A reapplication was made in 2016 for the addition of a separate pit. The revised DA and EIL were issued on the 22nd December 2016 for a period of 5 years (expiring October 2021). This application is for Development Approval and Extractive Industry Licence for a duration of 10 years for the existing clay extraction operation and the expansion areas/new pit areas. The requirements of the Shire of Toodyay Local Planning Scheme and Extractive Industries Local Law are addressed within this document. The Chitty Main Pit is located in the centre of Lot M1919. A smaller pit known as ‘Chitty Junior’ is located at the central western boundary. It is also proposed that a new pit area is opened to the north of the main pit, known as the ‘White Schist’ pit. This area was previously included in the application to Council dated 2016 however it has not been excavated at this point in time. A summary of the proposal is outlined in the table below. SUBJECT DESCRIPTION Operating times The hours of operation will be from 07:00 to 17:00 hours from Monday to Friday.
