Why this application matters

Proposed facilities

A 2.9-hectare asphalt plant development is proposed within the approximately 95-hectare Brownswood Quarry Complex. It includes asphalt production infrastructure, storage bays, a 1,500 sq m storage shed, substation, standby generator and gas-storage compound.

Water management

The scheme includes paved and hardstanding areas, a retaining wall and closed-loop drainage. A purpose-sized attenuation tank would provide 500 cubic metres of water storage.

Quarry complex development

The site lies on lands already permitted for extraction and associated works. Other quarry-complex proposals have included a concrete batching plant, quarry-void restoration and continuation of an existing concrete batching plant.

Environmental assessment

A Natura Impact Statement accompanies the asphalt plant proposal.
