The CCC Terms of Reference were endorsed at our last whole-of-community

meeting held in March 2013.

Included in the Terms is a commitment by Boral to conduct an ‘administrative

review’ to ensure the Terms remain ‘relevant and up-to-date’.

We have not identified any need to change the current Terms, however would like

to hear from our residents as to whether you require any changes.

Boral Teven Quarry Re-examination of quarry consent

®

Rod Wallace, Planning & Development Manager (NSW)

®

29

Condition 24 of the 1996 development consent states:

These conditions shall be re-examined by Council and a final date for the termination of the

consent determined within, but not later than, six years prior to 20 years after the date of

commencement of this consent.

At forecasted production rates, the consented hard rock resource would last

another 10 years.

A significant inferred hard rock resource exists beyond the consented quarry

footprint which would require a future approval


Re-examination of consent termination date Boral Teven Quarry Whole of Community meeting 16 July 2015

®

30

The key issues raised which we could improve upon included

Operational noise

Dust emissions

Blasting

Road transport

Hours of operation

Significant capital has been spent on improvement works including

Full enclosure of the fixed plant (noise and dust management gains)

Visual and noise bunding

Surface water management improvements.

Efforts have been made to improve blast design and minimise noise and

vibration.

A driver training package has been rolled out to emphasise appropriate conduct

on local roads.


We sought your feedback on our operations Boral Teven Quarry Whole of Community meeting 16 July 2015

®

31

Production on Saturdays has been identified as a consistent amenity issue with

neighbours.

We are proposing to cease production on Saturdays in exchange for the use of

mobile crushing plant (in addition to the fixed plant) between 7am and 4pm on

weekdays to meet production limits.

To adjust the hours of operation and allow for mobile crushing, we would need to

modify the consent.

We are proposing to incorporate the re-examination of the consent termination

date with the modification.


Proposed consent re-examination and modification Boral Teven Quarry Whole of Community meeting 16 July 2015

A modification would give

Council the mechanism to

assess the changes against

current guidelines and include

conditions within the consent.

Our envisaged approach to the

process is shown on the

handout.
