Public meeting notification
The community will be able to have their say in a public meeting on a proposal by Ironstone Developments Pty Ltd for a new hard rock quarry in the Limeburners Creek area. The project involves the extraction of up to 500,000 tonnes per annum of hard rock aggregate products, construction of a new intersection and access road, workshop, stockpiles, weigh bridge, power line and office.
The proposed Deep Creek Quarry is a State Significant Development application (SSD 11591659) located on the western side of The Bucketts Way approximately 12km north of the Pacific Highway and 11km south of Booral, within the Mid-Coast Local Government Area (LGA). The decision on whether the proposed project will be given planning approval has been referred to the Independent Planning Commission because the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure received at least 50 unique submissions objecting to the proposal.
Commissioners Professor Snow Barlow (Panel Chair), Ken Kanofski and Janett Milligan have been appointed by the Commission Chair to determine the development application.
The public meeting on the proposed Deep Creek Quarry will be held at Clarence Town School of Arts Hall (48 Grey Street, Clarence Town, NSW 2321) on Wednesday 13 December 2023 (10:00am AEDT start). The public meeting will be conducted as a livestreamed event, with registered speakers participating either in person at the venue or via online videoconference or telephone. The Commission is also inviting written submissions from the public.
The Commission has access to all previous written submissions made to the Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure on this proposed development, however it is particularly helpful for the Commission Panel to hear the community’s views on the Department’s recent Assessment Report on the key issues and recommended conditions of consent.
The key issues identified in the Department’s whole-of-government assessment of the development application are biodiversity, traffic and transport, amenity impacts, air quality, dust and noise, and water resources.
Anyone wishing to present at the public meeting must pre-register on the Commission’s website using the Speaker Registration Form.
The deadline for speaker registrations is 12:00pm AEDT on Thursday 7 December 2023.
Written submissions can be lodged via the ‘Make a Submission’ portal on the Commission’s website. The Commission will also accept submissions made via post or email.
Written submissions will be accepted until 5:00pm AEDT on Wednesday 20th December 2023.
Please note
Registered speakers for the public meeting will be asked to indicate a preference for presenting to the Commission Panel either in-person at the venue or virtually (i.e. via Zoom video link or telephone). At this point, the public meeting will also be livestreamed on the Commission’s website. Please note that if the demand for either in-person or virtual attendance is low, the Commission may opt to conduct the meeting either entirely virtually, or entirely in person. If demand for speaker timeslots is high and Wednesday 13 December 2023 becomes fully booked, the Commission will endeavour to schedule a second day, which would be conducted virtually as a livestreamed videoconference.
If either of these scenarios occur, this will be fully communicated to all registered speakers in advance, including how the Commission can assist people to attend the meeting virtually. Please read the Speaker Registration Form carefully, and provide as much detail as possible.
These flexible arrangements ensure as many people as possible have the opportunity to be heard, while also making best use of public resources.

1) Crystalline Silica This highly carcinogenic compound proven to cause lung cancer is released when rhyolite is worked by blasting, crushing, or cutting. The NSW building industry requires measures as per asbestos for its handling and has recently been successful in having its use in engineered stone being banned. Working “wet” is OK until it dries out and all the product which spread around the district on the wind, covers the work site, is carried out on trucks to become a health risk to hundreds or even thousands of people The excuse given by the applicant that it is necessary for “non slip” on roundabouts. Is simply not true; globally it has been replaced by synthetic compounds applied to the surface. Rhyolite contains high levels of silica. The sludge if collected in a dam will eventually be caught up in a heavy rainstorm and carried into the Karuah River and Port Stephens areas of which are a protected marine park irreparably destroying it. 2) Bucketts Way It is clear that there is a huge expenditure, on roads and bridges going on. The bridges should carry the extra heavy traffic but the bitumen; built largely on a swamp, will not. This is proven by its rapid deterioration under normal loads at present. Despite royalties which may or may not be used to repair the inevitable damage; I believe it tis the public who will end up subsidising the company profits and the public who will be continuously inconvenienced by the never-ending road works. The intersection of Bucketts Way and Pacific Highway is already over loaded and highly dangerous and only a flyover will fix this (a left turn only for trucks will not fix the visibility problems. Who will take responsibility for the serious accidents and deaths that would be inevitable result of this poor planning. The Question-and-Answer segment on the developer’s website states that there will be minimal impact on traffic…what does this mean, this needs to be quantified. General figures of 25 loaded truck movements per hour does not add up to 110 truck movements per day when the quarry has 6am to 6pm operating hrs. It is even more concerning that they want the right to up hourly movements to 40. I t is slight of hand to say that general decrease in road efficiency will be more as a result of general traffic growth not potential of a loaded truck every 2/3 minutes. 3) Koalas Since the initial lodging of the DA the plight of the many koalas in the area has been recognised and the status has been raised to “endangered”. No amount of “money” donated to various institutions will bring back the lives of those being deprived of food and driven out onto open roads 4) Noise The noise levels in the district are at present close to zero. This quarry will now impose noise levels on residences that currently don’t exist and even though the maker is deemed reasonable it is still more than we have currently. Unfortunately, from experience when projects are approved, with conditions it is left to private citizens to try to monitor, instead of the government body whose job it is to protect the community. 5) Local Established Businesses. There are many farm stays and farms in the area which will be badly affected by noise, air pollution and traffic congestion. In short, this project cannot fit in to this community in any size or form. Even Mid Coast Council has reported back that is quarry does not fit with the management plan for the district. 6) Presentations After listening to the presentation by Ironstone Developments representative on 13 Dec we are now more than ever convinced that they are clearly expecting to be given a blank cheque to go ahead with this development. Lots of platitude words were used but when confronted with questions about their plans no clear answers were available. Their track record to date in supplying misinformation on local businesses, school buses, public liaison, koala population, noise baselines, air pollution base lines lead me to believe that the project should be rejected on the basis that there is a huge reputability and believability issue to the extent that none of it is believable. The wildlife land offsets are still under the ownership of the developer and I would say it is very likely that if this is approved, very quickly after a DA for the “full” original project will be lodged. 7) Truck driver Behaviour Code This has never worked anywhere else as the quarry drivers see our roads as their roads and behave accordingly MICAT is right once again leading to traffic accidents and deaths. 8) Community Consultation To date there has been no “consultation” as defined “a discussion about something”. There has been no discussion with community members at each stage we have been shut down or told our concern is irrelevant or that those activities are acceptable. It has only when the various State government agencies or Council have requested something that they have responded and adjusted plans. The proposed formation of a Community Consultation Committee is a waste of time unless it has some strong guidelines within which to operate. There still needs to be a clear simple mechanism to highlight issues outside of the developer. What is a Community Development Fund? The fact is the government can set conditions, guidelines or whatever on the developer to mitigate a whole range of concerns, they do not take away that we as residents are going to be impacted for the negative when you look at the other quarry site and those in the pipeline none of them have the potential to negatively impact so many residences and businesses as this one. |
