PART A – BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Gums Quarry is located on private freehold land at 634 Palana Road Whitemark in the Flinders Island Municipality (Figures 1, 2a and 2b). The quarry is existing and has been operational since 1986.

A.1 EXISTING ACTIVITY

The existing quarry is a Level 1 activity under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 and has been operational since 1986.

The quarrying operation includes the following activities:

surface site preparation by soil removal and stockpiling;

excavation and ripping of rock and gravel material;

blasting to liberate rock;

crushing of material into various size classes;

stockpiling of material in quarry area;

loading trucks with wheel loader from stockpile area in quarry; and the

transport of materials by truck with/without trailer.

When established in 1986, a cut‐off drain and upper bench access road were installed (see images in Attachment 2) as well as other infrastructure such as drains and culverts. At that time, nearly all of the vegetation that was on the west and south‐west facing slopes was removed. The quarry is currently accessed via an unsealed road from Palana Road.

A.2 PROPONENT

The proponent, Markarna Grazing Company Pty Ltd, owns and operates a large pastoral enterprise in the northern section of Flinders island – Markarna Park. The proponent also holds a Mining Lease in the southern part of the island (near Ranga), which produces sands.

A.4 RATIONALE AND ALTERNATIVES

The geological unit that is proposed to be quarried under this application is quite uncommon on Flinders Island (see Figure 6b). Indeed, this is the only Mining Lease that has access to this geological formation on


6

the island. The rock when crushed is highly suitable for use in pavement surfaces for roads (Attachment 2) when crushed to a suitable size.

The ability to extract an increased volume of material each year, and the flexibility to provide material in larger volumes to major projects when the needs arises, enables a local product to be used for local projects. In the past, material has been brought onto the island from mainland Tasmania which has both been at considerable cost to the public and subject to the logistical difficulties of transporting large volumes of crushed material by ferry. A local source should provide a financial incentive to implementing local and major works on the island as well as providing an opportunity to conduct additional works using those funds that would otherwise be spent on transport if the same material was sourced off‐island.

PART B ‐ PROJECT DESCRIPTION

B.1 DEVELOPMENT OVERVIEW

The products from the quarry can supply a major component of, if not all, of the island’s needs for non‐granite and sand based construction works including, but not limited to, road base for private property road works, driveway gravel, fill for concrete slab construction and public road works.

Given the strategic location of the quarry and its unique product that it generates, the development includes two modes of operation.

The two operational activities for the development ‐

1. Normal Production – normal (extraction volume limited on a per annum basis) extraction associated with minor works including those conducted by the proponent and for sale to customers.

2. Major Projects – those projects which require a large volume of material over a short to medium term (weeks or several months) which have social and economic benefits to the island economy and infrastructure.

B.1.1 Volume extracted

The volumes to be extracted for each of the Operational Activities and the associated blasting regime to liberate rock for the volumes is provided in Table 1.

Table 1. Operational activity extraction limits and associated timeframes

Operational Activity Extraction Limit Blasting Regime Timeframe for extraction

Normal Production 20,000 cubic metres per

annum 2 blasts per annum 12 months

Major Projects 100,000 cubic metres

per project Up to 5 blasts per project

4‐12 weeks per project

Normal Production and Major Projects are likely to overlap in their occurrence; however, priority will be given to supplying the Major Project.

Prior to the commencement of supply for a Major Project the Council and EPA will be notified no less than 30 days before the material is needed for the project. The notification will provide the below details –

Name of Major Project;

Volume to be supplied and the timeframe within which the supply is required;

Number of blasts;

Operating hours to be adopted for the production and supply of material (eg carting times, crushing times);

Number of trucks per day and overall traffic movements associated with the supply for the Major Project;

Number of trucks likely to access the quarry for Normal Production activities during the timeframe of the supply to the Major Project; and

Environmental management measures that will be applied to prevent or mitigate the risk of causing environmental nuisance.


11

The owner/occupier of the property to the west (Richmond Park) will also be notified when the Council and EPA are notified of the proposed Major Project.

B.1.2 Extraction Methods

The expanded quarrying operation will include the following tasks for both Normal Production and Major Projects:

surface site preparation by tree‐felling and stockpiling;

soil removal and stockpiling;

excavation and ripping of rock and gravel material;

drilling and blasting by licensed contractor and rock removal by means of an excavator/dozer;

crushing of some rock material to reduce material size;

stockpiling of material (processed and unprocessed) in quarry area;

loading trucks with wheel loader from stockpile area in quarry; and the

transport of materials by truck with/without trailer.

Hard rock will be liberated by blasting. Drilling and blasting will be carried out by qualified contractors in consultation with the proponent to ensure the following:

drilling will be carried out as specified by a blast contractor;

all close neighbours will be notified at least 24 hours in advance of blasting activities;

blasting activities will be safe and meet all workplace health and safety requirements and

blasting will be adequate to achieve rock fragmentation for extraction by excavator and crushing.

The blast fractured rock will be removed using an excavator and loaded into the hopper of a crusher. Crushers have jaws which are adjusted to achieve the desired gravel size. The crushed and screened (using a vibrating screen adjacent to the crushing unit) material will be stockpiled. Crushing will likely occur at the maximum rate of 1,500 cubic metres of gravel per day, subject to the rate of production required and to account for any breakdowns etc. After a sufficient amount of rock is crushed and screened into gravel the quarry will operate on a need basis with trucks loaded using a front loader.

B.1.3 Timeframe for development

It is anticipated that increased extraction will commence in the first quarter of the 2016‐17 financial year (i.e. July to August 2016) in readiness to conduct roadworks and possibly Major Projects over summer 2017. The quarry is expected to have a lifespan of at least 20 years owing to the high volumes of material available at the site.

B.2 OPERATING HOURS

Operating hours for the quarry are outlined in Table 2 on the basis of Normal Production and Major Projects.

B.3 MINING LEASE

A Mining Lease (1229P/M) exists over the quarry and is about 4.072 hectares in size. The ML was issued in 1986 and the quarry has been continuously operational, at some level, since that time. The geology of the quarry is a deeply folded Siluro‐Devonian Turbiditic mudstone (Mathinna series – Figure 6a) with a thin clay‐loam soil. The material is a coarse fractured rock/gravel derived from in situ weathering of the bedrock.

B.4 QUARRY EQUIPMENT

The equipment to be used at the quarry is as follows:

Atlas Mobile drill

8x4 explosive truck

Cat 329D Excavator

Cat 966H Loader

Pegson Jaw crusher

Pegson Cone Crusher

Twister track VSI Crusher

Powerscreen 2 & 3 deck screens

15 000 lt Water cart truck

Komatsu Pc650 excavator with ripper and rock breaker

Cat 140G Grader

Cat D9H Bulldozer

Drill Rig: As per contractor

All machinery (except a drill rig for drilling holes to use in blasting) is owned by the proponent.

B.5 QUARRY ACCESS ROAD – JUNCTION WITH PALANA ROAD

The Whitemark – Blue Rocks location of the quarry provides a centralised location to cart gravel around the island in a transport efficient manner with direct access to a major road (Palana Road ‐ see Figure 3) that connects to several others (eg. West End Road) for quicker access to the islands north‐east (Fairhaven Road) and east coasts (Melrose Road). The division of available directions lessens the amount of truck movements in any one direction although the actual percentage of traffic moving in either direction at any one time would depend on the destination of the material.

Most material will be extracted from the quarry on a demand basis, with a peak from roadworks which normally occur in the autumn months in readiness for wet weather in winter and into early spring.

B.5.1 Access Road

Gravel trucks are proposed to exit the expanded quarry site via a ‘to be constructed’ access road onto Palana Road. The Access Road is to be located on private freehold land and also a private right‐of‐way on a private freehold land immediately adjacent to Palana Road (see Figure 2a). The Access Road will be about 6m wide. The Access Road will be built to the IPWEA unsealed road standard, including requirements for passing lanes and culverts, and will not require blasting or crushing to construct.

B.5.2 Access Road junction with Palana Road

Palana Road is a 100km/hr sealed Council maintained road and connects Whitemark through to Palana at the northern end of the island. It is the main arterial road that services the western region of the island and has several important road connections to the eastern side of the island (eg Memana Road, Fairhaven Road, Five Mile Jim Road). The SISD is satisfactory for the Access Road (Figure 3).

B.5.3 Traffic Movements – Normal Production

Traffic movements for 20,000 cubic metre per annum production operation will consist of staff cars at a maximum of three per day (6 movements) and heavy vehicles consisting of gravel trucks to collect material. The gravel trucks will be up to 30 tonnes capacity and comply with vehicle safety and regulation standards. Regular small gravel loads will be extracted from the quarry to cater for smaller operations such as minor road maintenance like pothole filling. Table 3 outlines examples of supplies and the period over which that supply occur. These can be used to approximate/estimate the number of truck movements per supply and per day into the quarry.

Table 3. Examples of gravel supplies and associated truck generation for Normal Production

Type of Supply Size of Supply Period of Supply and Truck Movements

(67 truck loads)

5 days = 14 trucks/day = 28 truck movements/day


(100 truck loads)

Low volume 200 tonnes using 12 t truck

(17 truck loads)


B.5.4 Traffic Movements – Major Projects

Traffic movements for Major Projects will consist of staff cars at a maximum of three per day (6 movements) and heavy vehicles consisting of gravel trucks to collect material. The gravel trucks will be up to 30 tonnes capacity and comply with vehicle safety and regulation standards. Table 4 outlines examples of supplies and the period over which that supply occur. These can be used to approximate/estimate the number of truck movements per day for a Major Project.

Table 4. Examples of gravel supplies and associated truck generation for Major Projects

Type of Supply Size of Supply Period of Supply and Truck Movements


(2,000 truck loads)

60 days = 34 trucks/day = 68 truck movements per day


(1,334 truck loads)

45 days = 30 trucks/day = 60 truck movements per day

B.6 QUARRY PLANS

B.6.1 Proposed Layout

The approximate proposed layout of the quarry is shown in Figure 5a.

Infrastructure

The operation including car parking area and active quarry face will be contained within the existing Mining Leases (Figure 2). A new Access Road will be constructed as it provides the best possible route from Boyer Road into the quarry (Figure 3).

Stockpiles

All material, whether crushed or not, will be stockpiled and stored on a hardstand located within bunded area quarry (Figure 3).

Sediment pond and associated drainage

Drainage from the quarry floor and associated disturbed area will be managed by the maintenance of the existing sediment pond and cut‐off drains. The drainage line in the upper catchment of the Mining Lease was diverted in 1986 when the quarry was established (see Figures 5a and 7).

The sediment pond will be fully included within the Mining Lease (a small section extends off the lease to the south), resized and reconstructed to capture and treat for sediment removal the water that may flow from the quarry during sustained or heavy rainfall events. The overflow will be directed towards the west (Figure 7) where it would drain through native vegetation prior to entering agricultural land as it has done since the quarry was established. The sediment pond will be sized to cater for the 1 in 20 year ARI.

Amenities

A toilet will be constructed at the site in the site office (proposed new building) for use by staff and contractors. The toilet will be connected to a septic system.


19

B.6.2 Extraction Staging Plan

At year 5 the catchment of the quarry is likely to be around 1.25 hectares.

The maximum possible extraction extent that is the basis of the development application is shown in Figure 5a. A cross‐section of the quarry is provided in Figure 5b.

B.6.3 Vegetation Removal and Management

The removal of vegetation will only occur as the area is required for quarry expansion or the maintenance of specific infrastructure, such as the existing cut‐off drain. Trees will be felled by an appropriately trained and qualified person and logs will be stored on‐site for potential re‐use with rehabilitation works. Leaves, small limbs and undergrowth will be removed and mulched for use off‐site (eg landscaping works) or retained on‐site for future rehabilitation works. No more than 20 cubic metres of mulch and vegetative debris generated by clearing works will be stored in any one stockpile, with stockpiles separated by at least 20m.

B.6.4 Topsoil Removal and Management

There is a shallow topsoil (overburden) of less than 0.5m on average across some of the area proposed to be quarried. Some soils have already been stockpiled from historical pit activities, such as those which have occurred since its establishment in 1986. Stripped topsoil will be stockpiled for re‐use in rehabilitation works. The stockpiles and bunds made from the stockpiled soil will be progressively grassed to minimise the risk of weed infestation and wind and water induced erosion of the bare soil.

B.7 BLAST PLANNING

Rock may be liberated by blasting. Drilling and blasting will be carried out by qualified contractors. Rock extraction areas would be prepared for quarrying by removing and stockpiling the topsoil for later use in progressive rehabilitation works. The contractors will carry out the drilling and blasting operations in consultation with the quarry owner to ensure the following tasks occur:

drilling is carried out as specified by a blast contractor;

noise and vibration standards are met and reduced where possible (both drilling and blasting activities);

all close neighbours are notified at least 24 hours in advance of blasting activities;

blasting activities are safe and meet all workplace health and safety requirements and

blasting is adequate for rock fragmentation for extraction by excavator and crushing.

Measures to be applied during the preparation of a blast will include –

Notifications before blast

The EPA Director will be notified on each occasion prior to blasting at the quarry. Notification will be given as early as possible, but at least 48 hours before blasting is due to occur. All residents within a 1 km radius of a blast will be notified prior to that blast. This notification will be given at least 48 hours before such blasting is due to occur, and preferably before 72 hours. In the event that the blast(s) cannot take place at the time specified, or as a result of blasting misfires, the Adams Group or their delegated agent will advise all those residents within 1 km of the quarry of the revised time at which blasting will take place.

Storage and handling of explosives

The transportation, storage and handling of explosives is conducted by the blast contractor in accordance with the Australian Explosives Code (1999), the Australian Code for the transport of explosives by road and rail (Third edition ‐ 2009) and Australian Standard 2187 Explosives – Transport, storage and Use (parts 1 and 2).

Risk assessment and auditing


20

The blast contractor is responsible for conducting a risk assessment and safety audit of the quarry as part of each blast. This includes the drilling of the holes for explosives, handling explosives, operation of detonation devices and the safe detonation of the charges. The Adams Group or their delegated agent will receive a copy of the risk assessment and associated documentation that supports the placement of drill holes, levels of explosives used and the detonation devices.

Noise/vibration blast monitoring program

Measurements of air blast overpressure and peak particle velocity will be carried out by the blast contractor in accordance with the methods set down in Technical basis for guidelines to minimise annoyance due to blasting overpressure and ground vibration, Australian and New Zealand Environment Council, September 1990. The noise/vibration test results collected by the blast contractor will be securely held by the Adams Group or their delegated agent for 5 years from the date of the blast. In the event that the blasting noise limits and/or vibrations as specified in the permit are exceeded, the EPA Director will be notified within 48 hours of the blasting event.

Incident Reporting

The blast contractor is responsible for reporting to Police/Fire any incident that requires their involvement or attendance at the quarry. the Adams Group is responsible for reporting any misfires or delayed firings to the EPA Director and surrounding relevant landowners: in the event that the blast(s) cannot take place at the time specified, or as a result of blasting misfires, the Adams Group or their delegated agent will advise all those residents within 1 km of the activities on the land of the revised time at which blasting will take place.

B.8 CRUSHING

Rock will be crushed and screened into various sized particles subject to the end use of the material.

Site number: 099005

Latitude: 40.09 °S Longitude: 148.00 °E

Elevation: 9 m

The quarry occurs in a region with cool winters and warm summers (Graph 1), with most precipitation occurring in the winter and spring period (Graph 2).

C.3 GEOLOGY, SOILS AND LAND CAPABILITY

The bedrock geology is a Siluro‐Devonian folded mudstone (Figure 6a) which is part of the Mathinna series of rocks which dominate north‐east mainland Tasmania. Sands and sandy clay loams are present on the lower western slopes of the bedrock which are richly comprised of coarse fractured rocks and pebbly fragments of the bedrock. The coarse white sands probably being of aeolian origin. The clay component of the sandy clay loam is likely to have been derived from in situ erosion of the mudstone.

The geology and soils present within Mining Lease bare shown in Plate 3.

The Land Capability is not recorded by DPIPWE for the Mining Lease however the steep terrain, shallow skeletal soils and rockiness of the soil at the quarry would make a Land Classification of 6 and 7 appropriate.


25

Plate 2. Rock and soil types within the Mining Lease

Coarse and deeply fractured Siluro‐Devonian derived surface rock/exposures occur over a solid and only slightly fractured bedrock in the Mining Lease.

A sandy clay loam (probably of aeolian origin) occurs on the lower slopes of the quarry where it occurs in sheets over the Siluro‐Devonian bedrock.

A distinct coarse sand sheet (yellow arrow) which is probably of aeolian origin occurs on the lower western slope of the quarry (Siluro‐Devonian bedrock – red arrow).


26

C.3 WATERCOURSES

The ridgeline and slope system upon which the quarry is located has several drainage lines that flow westward from the catchment boundary formed by the top pf the ridgeline (Figure 7). The low relief topography surrounded by the hills from Blue Rocks to Parrys Bay is comprised of well‐drained sands with drainage lines that report to wet areas on the edge of Parrys Bay (eg near Long Point Road).

The watercourses in the quarry (and Mining Lease) are limited to a natural drain age line in the upper section of the Mining Lease and cut‐off drain in the mid to lower sections (see Figures 5a and 7). In developing the quarry in 1986 the natural drainage line has been diverted to a sediment pond, which also receives water from a cut‐off drain. The natural drainage line doesn’t appear to now flow water of any significant volume.

The overflow from the sediment pond is into some woody debris and native vegetation in the Mining Lease and then into agricultural land. There is no clearly defined channel nor any substantial evidence that the sediment pond overflows often or when it does the volumes are small or slow flowing. The well‐drained nature of the sandy loams on the flats to the west of the quarry are such that water may not be able to accumulate to create surface flows.

D.4 ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION AUTHORITY

The environmentally‐relevant aspects of the activity will be assessed by the Board administering the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1995 because the development is a Level 2 activity pursuant to Schedule 2 of the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1995.

Council is not required to assess any matter addressed by the EPA (s.25 (2) If the Board determines that it needs to assess the activity to which an application relates under this Act then, unless the application is refused under section 57(2) of the Land Use Planning and Approvals Act 1993 – ….. (f) the planning authority, notwithstanding any enactment to the contrary, is not required to assess any matter addressed in the Board's assessment under paragraph (a)).’

In this case, as a Level 2 activity, the EPA will conduct an assessment in accordance with the Environmental Impact Assessment Principles in the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994. The EPA will conduct the assessment in consultation with the planning authority. Accordingly, the environmentally‐relevant aspects of the activity will be more comprehensively described within the assessment documentation requested by the EPA – the documentation will be advertised for public comment and will be available for Council in determining the application.

D.5 ZONE INTENT

The following notes and comments are made about each intent of the zone relevant to the development.

Objective Comments with reference to development

The Rural Zone on Flinders Island is intended to maintain the existing rural character of the island which is typified by a pattern of areas of open farmland, typically with shelter belts of remnant vegetation, interspersed with irregular areas of native vegetation and substantial unspoiled landform. On other islands within the Planning Area the zone is intended to preserve the existing character which displays minimal signs of European occupation.

The development will not impact on the existing rural character as it will not alter the pattern of open areas of farmland with interspersed irregular areas of native vegetation. Indeed, the quarry is an existing part of the landscape and has been in existence since 1986.

The quarry location will be shielded from key viewing locations around the island by retained native vegetation (see Landscape Visibility Assessment).

Use and development in the Rural Zone is intended to accommodate agricultural uses and development predominantly, with some compatible non‐agricultural uses and development in appropriate circumstances, including tourist operation and rural industries. Forest plantations may be appropriate where they do not adversely affect the character of an area or detract from important views.

The development is a compatible non‐agricultural use of the land – the Scheme intends that these developments (ie rural industries) can occur within this zone. Indeed, no other zone in the Scheme allows for extractive industries so this zone is the only zone where quarries and other extraction based activities can occur.

The small geographic size and predominantly low intensity of extraction make the overall land use a very minor impact activity within the Rural Zone with temporary periods of increased activity associated with Major Projects on the island.


33

D.6 DESIRED ZONE CHARACTER AND ZONE GUIDELINES

The Scheme provides the following desired zone character and zone guidelines –

Desired Zone Character Comments in relation to development

The use or development of small existing rural lots for the purpose of residential living shall only be approved where such use or development is compatible with any existing or potential agricultural use of that land or surrounding lands.

Not applicable to this development – residential use is not proposed in the development.

Use or development should enhance the rural character of the zone. Buildings should be substantial distances from the road frontage and apart, unless inappropriate for operational or topographical reasons. Where land clearance is undertaken it should be visually sympathetic; important trees (or stands of trees) should be retained, important hilltop locations should not be cleared and location of trees and shrubs along fence lines, property boundaries, watercourses and at property entrances is encouraged. Buildings and structures for aquaculture should be sited with regard to the protection of coastal scenery and compatibility with recreational use of the coastline.

The single building will be located at the entrance to the quarry where two car parks will also be provided for light vehicles.

The building is located well away from road frontage and will be coloured to be visually sympathetic to the landscape. Trees will be retained and additional trees planted to provide shielding of the building.

Land use or development and management practices shall be environmentally appropriate and shall avoid contamination or despoliation of the land, ground water, water courses, shore‐lines, lagoons and marshes. Sand‐dunes and coastal vegetation and ecologically important areas shall be protected from degradation.


Forestry activities in the zone shall be in accordance with the Forest Practices Code

Not applicable to this development – the harvesting of trees is exempt under the provisions of the Forest Practices Regulations 2007 where a Mining Lease has been issued under the Mineral Resources Development Act 1995 (Tas). The quarry is located with Mining Lease 1229P/M (Figure 2a).

D.7 DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS

The following notes and comments are made about each Development Standard relative to the development and use.

Development Standard Comments in relation to development

The maximum height of buildings is 8.0 metres unless it can be satisfactorily demonstrated that a higher structure is required for operational, topographic or other justified purposes.

The single building will be less than 8m high.

Habitable buildings should be sited and designed to achieve the best solar gain or orientation that Not relevant, no habitable buildings are proposed.


34

the site can provide. Where such design or orientation is not feasible other energy efficient practices, such as insulation, heat pumps or double glazing, should be considered.

Buildings shall be setback a minimum distance of 20 metres from all boundaries.

The single building is setback more than 20m from all boundaries (Figure 5a).

Regardless of the foregoing minimum setbacks, buildings shall be set back not less than a horizontal distance of 100m from high water mark and 40 m from a perennial watercourse.

The single building is setback more than the required distances from the high water mark and a perennial watercourse.

Council may relax the setback requirement of the above clause pursuant to the provisions of Clause 3.5 of this Scheme and after giving consideration to:

i. The particular size, shape, contours or slope of the land and the adjoining land;

ii. The adjoining land and uses and zones

iii. The position of existing buildings and setbacks in the immediate area;

iv. Consideration of any representations received as a result of the notification under Section 57 of the Act.

Not relevant because the development complies with setback requirements.

The external walls, roof, paving and other large surface areas of buildings shall be finished with non‐reflective materials and colours that harmonise with the natural landscape or shall be substantially screened by landscaping.

The single building will be constructed of non‐reflective materials and be of a colour that is sympathetic to the surrounding viewfield.

Trees will be retained and additional trees planted to provide shielding of the building.

A house on any lot which contains only class 4, 5, 6 or 7 land is discretionary and may only be approved if any existing or potential development and use of agricultural land in the vicinity is likely to receive no impact, or only minor impact from the establishment of the residence taking into account: (a) The topography of the land; (b) The location of water catchments; (c) The location of neighbouring agricultural pursuits; (d) Buffers created by natural features; (e) Resource sustainability given the objective of the State Protection of Agricultural Land Policy.

Not relevant, no habitable buildings are proposed.


35

D.8 USE AND DEVELOPMENT PRINCIPLES

The following notes and comments are made about each Use and Development Principle relative to the development and use.

D.8.1 USE

Relevant Principle Comments in relation to development

Use or development shall not unreasonably impact on any existing or intended use or development of neighbouring land.

The expanded quarry activity will not unreasonably impact on adjoining agricultural uses or associated other uses of land within the Rural Zone. The nearest adjoining land already supports a dwelling (Lane Title Volume 141190 Folio 3, Figure 2a) and the development of any additional dwelings in the existing overlay (buffer/attenuation area – Figure 4b) is prohibited pursuant to clause 3.19.1 of the Scheme (and the Scheme generally).


Rural Industrial operations shall be appropriately located and designed to avoid any detrimental effects on neighbouring land use or development, particularly in respect of atmospheric emissions, solid waste disposal and water pollution, soil erosion, noise or visual quality.

Mining and quarrying operations shall be located and carried out in a form which does not conflict with surrounding land use or development, scenic values and the environment.

D.8.2 CHARACTER


Use and development shall adequately respect the character of, and future intentions for the area in which it is to be located.

The character of the local area and future intentions of the area are rural uses. The quarry is an existing activity in the landscape and therefore is part of that landscape – it is not a greenfield development.

Neighbouring uses are agricultural (eg cropping, pasture development for livestock grazing) and some existing rural residential uses to the south where the houses occur on ‘bush blocks’.

Trees will be retained and additional trees planted to provide shielding of the building. Trees will also be retained where possible when constructing the sediment pond and associated western cut‐off drain – trees will be replanted in this area to replace those that are removed such that a vegetative screen is established and maintained.

Use or development (including public facilities and services) should adequately respect the surrounding streetscape and neighbouring use or development, particularly in relation to scale, setbacks, form (including roof shape), landscaping, materials, colours and fencing.

Landscaping of use or development shall be of a type, form, variety(s) and character which is suited to the intention of the zone, the area and the nature of the use or development.

Where trees are an important element in the character of an area they should be retained.


36

D.8.3 AMENITY


Use or development shall accord all existing and/or future occupiers with adequate and reasonable levels of amenity, especially in relation to privacy, sunlight, aspect, views and noise disturbance.

The development will not affect sunlight to adjoining properties or dwellings.


D.8.4 ENVIRONMENT


Use or development shall not be allowed to detrimentally affect the environment. All areas, and sensitive ecological and/or visual areas in particular, shall be developed in a manner and to an extent which is consistent with the protection of the values of the area.


Use or Development and land management practices shall be directed towards achieving environmental sustainability, biodiversity and ecological balance, and avoiding environmental damage such as soil erosion, coastal dune erosion, loss of important animal and plant species and increases in vermin populations.

Use or Development shall not be located in areas of unacceptable risk (eg. from fire, flood or landslip). In situations where risk may exist, use and development shall be appropriately sited and designed to provide an acceptable level of protection and safety for future users.

The quarry is an existing use and as such has already been appropriately sited in relation to landslide, flood and fire risk.

Potentially incompatible Uses or Developments shall be adequately and appropriately located, sited and designed to avoid conflict. Level 2 activities or sources of pollution shall be sited in accordance with the following:

i. Use or Development for a use of land that is a Level 2 activity under the provisions of the Environment Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 shall not be allowed within the lesser distance from a residential zone than that recommended by the Director of Environmental Management.


Visual qualities of the area will not be compromised by the continued use of the quarry and the proposed increase to the volumes (ie the fixed volume per annum of 20,000 cubic metres per annum and the option to increase production to


37

Activities involving extensive site works, such as quarrying, shall be suitably sited, screened, and rehabilitated where appropriate, to protect the ecological and visual qualities of the area.

100,000 cubic metres per annum for major projects) permitted to be taken per annum.

A vegetation screen is to be retained along the western edge of the development, as is also required by the terms of the Mining Lease.

Use or development shall be of a suitable form and siting to avoid any adverse impact on any watercourse and vice versa. Use or development (including the siting of effluent disposal systems) shall be setback a minimum of 40 metres, or such distance as is required, from a watercourse to avoid degradation of water quality.

No watercourses listed in Schedule 3 of the Scheme are present within the area of the development.

Use of land in the vicinity of those watercourses identified in Schedule 3 shall provide Riparian Reserves in an appropriate location and form.

D.8.5 HERITAGE


Areas of identified conservation value, including National Parks and Nature Reserves, shall be protected from inappropriate use or development and detrimental land management practices including land clearance, within such areas and adjacent areas outside them.


D.8.6 ACCESS AND PARKING


All Use or Development shall provide satisfactory pedestrian and vehicular access which is suited to the volume and needs of future users.

Vehicular access will be provided by a new access road to connect to Palana Road (Figure 3). The new access provides greater sight distances than the existing access road.

The access road will be constructed and drained

The access road – Palana Road junction will be constructed to an IPWEA standard for sealed road – unsealed road junctions.

Road widths shall be appropriate to the road function, expected traffic type and volume, and future subdivision potential of the subject and surrounding land.

Road intersections shall be kept to a minimum with the use of existing roads, service roads and/or shared driveways being encouraged where appropriate.

New Use or Development shall provide a suitably constructed driveway of a width to provide for the safe ingress and egress of the anticipated volume of traffic associated with the Use or Development.


38

Intersections of roads, footpaths and foot crossings and driveways shall provide adequate safety for all users and shall satisfy the relevant requirements of Schedule 4.

The road junction (access road and Palana Road) will be constructed to an IPWEA Standard (IPWEA standard for sealed road – unsealed road junctions) to provide for a safe and efficient junction.

New Use or Development shall provide adequate car parking to provide for the demand it generates and shall be capable of being safely accessed.

Two car parking locations will be provided at the site office (Figure 5a).

On‐site turning will be provided such that heavy vehicles can enter and exit the quarry in a forward direction.

On site turning shall be provided for development involving significant traffic volumes, heavy vehicle types and/or on roads which carry significant amounts of traffic.

D.8.7 SERVICES

None of the principles are relevant to this activity as it is not connected to services and does not need to be connected to services.

D.8.8 SOCIAL INTEREST


Use or Development should demonstrate how it suits the community interest.

The quarry provides access to a mineral resource that is very uncommon on Flinders Island (Figure 6b). Most geological formations (other existing quarries on Flinders island) are a granite, granodiorite or sand (Recent and Pleistocene).

Opportunities to quarry a comparable geological formation offered by the quarry (1229P/M) is further constrained by the Conservation Area status of most of the area surface exposed (eg. Darling Range Conservation Area, Mulligans Hill Conservation Area and Brougham Sugarloaf Conservation Area).

Commercial access to significant volumes of this quarried material each year, and to larger volumes when required to conduct major projects of significance to the island, is in the interest of the community.

D.8.9 ADMINISTRATION


Use or Development proposals should only be approved where the cost to the public of providing and maintaining services is not exceeded by the economic benefit of the use or development to the community.

The quarry is not reliant on the specific provision of services from public funds. The existence of the quarry and its ability to provide greater volumes of material for works and major projects on the island are of material advantage to the public interests as it increases the accessibility of materials on‐island,


39

thereby reducing the island’s reliance on external sources of materials to conduct works.

D.9 LANDSCAPE VISIBILITY ASSESSMENT

Flinders Island has important scenic values, especially associated with the mountains and vantage points above bays and inlets for viewing.

An Objective of the Rural Zone under the Scheme is to –

‘The Rural Zone on Flinders Island is intended to maintain the existing rural character of the island which is typified by a pattern of areas of open farmland, typically with shelter belts of remnant vegetation, interspersed with irregular areas of native vegetation and substantial unspoiled landform.’

The quarry is located on the north‐western side of an unnamed hillock to the east of Arthurs Bay. It occurs in a series of hillocks that extend from Parrys Bays and Blue Rocks to the more distant Mulligans Hill and Brougham Sugarloaf. These hillocks form a viewfield from several vantage locations as they are collectively prominent and covered with native vegetation.

The viewfield from Palana Road heading in a south‐easterly direction is one of open paddocks, remnant native vegetation (especially along drainage lines and the roadside verge), shelterbelts of exotic species, houses surrounded by plantings, sheds and forested hills looking to the east. The main ridgeline in the viewfield is of an un‐named slope/ridge that extends north‐eastward towards Brougham Sugarloaf – the ridgeline that supports the quarry on its lower slope supports on its uppermost slopes powerpoles that lead to a telecommunications tower.

Brougham Sugarloaf and Mulligans Hill are not in the viewfield directly when travelling south towards Whitemark. Nor is it visible when travelling in a north‐westerly direction towards Blue Rocks, so it does not affect nor interfere with the views of Brougham Sugarloaf and Mulligans Hill from Palana Road.

The viewfield from the homestead on Richmond Park, the nearest dwelling to the quarry, would be able to observe the upper slopes of the quarry but not the complete lower slopes as there are trees to block that part of the quarry. There is also a slope at the south‐western corner of the quarry which will be retained as it provides noise and visibility shielding functions to the nearest dwelling.

Overall, the quarry is a brownfield site which is now part of the landscape, and has been in existence since 1986. The use and intensification of use at the quarry is not likely to alter the visual aesthetics of the landscape nor the immediate area.
