Wallerawang Quarry Modification 3

Resources Regulator response

Please find the attached letter.

Please see attached EPA comment on Wallerawang Quarry Modification 3 (DA344-11-2001). 

Council requests that more consideration is undertaken relating to the visual impacts from the Great Western Highway to the Quarry site, specifically in relation to the timeline as to when the vegetation would be planted, the type of vegetation, the specific location of the vegetation and the growth of the vegetation. More details relating to the bund wall is to be also provided to reduce visual impacts.

It has also been noted that the development does not currently make developer contributions. Particularly given the proposal seeks to extend the life of the quarry to 2050, Council is interested in seeking contributions by way of a Voluntary Planning Agreement or by some other means such as a community enhancement fund.

A supplementary submission from Council may be required upon a report being presented at the next Council meeting on 26 August 2019.
