Overview

Flinders Mines Ltd proposes to revise the already approved Pilbara Iron Ore Project located approximately 70 kilometres north-west of Tom Price in the Hamersley sub-region.

The revised proposal includes additional clearing up to 300 hectares (ha) to include the Paragon ore deposit and external infrastructure (including haul roads, airstrip and accommodation camp), as well as an increase in abstraction of groundwater of up to 2 Gigalitre per annum.

What happens next

Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.

The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
