Greater Paraburdoo Iron Ore Hub Proposal - Public Environmental Review

Overview

Hamersley Iron Pty Limited (the proponent) operates the existing Paraburdoo and Eastern Range iron ore mines which are located approximately 6 kilometres south of the town of Paraburdoo in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia. The proponent proposes to sustain production by expanding these existing operations and also developing a new deposit at Western Range.

The proposal would require an additional 4,300 hectares of clearing of native vegetation, with some below water table mining.
