Opened 24 Jun 2015

Overview

PMR Quarries Pty Ltd, trading as WA Limestone, proposes to develop a sand extraction quarry in the Gnangara - Moore State Forest within a felled pine plantation area approximately 5km south-east of Yanchep. This will required disturbance of 74.6 ha of land over the life of the project, however the amount of ground open at any time will be 5 ha. 

The attached documentation includes a proposal for sand extraction on mining tenements M70/1325 and M70/1326, however this referral only relates to sand extraction for mining tenement M70/1325, which is the northern tenement. 

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.
