PROPOSAL
An application has been received from Iluka Resources to
amend existing planning approval to commence development for a new relocated
mining accommodation camp at Lot 2080 Cataby Road. The amendment is in the site
layout plan only and results in a lesser sized development. This application
was approved by the Wheatbelt Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP).
BACKGROUND
The Wheatbelt JDAP granted Planning Approval in August 2012
to Iluka Resources for a mining accommodation camp at Lot 2080 Cataby Road and
relocation and redevelopment of the Tronox mining accommodation camp at Lot
2065 Cataby Road. A copy of the minutes of the August 2012 JDAP is provided in
the attachments listing the approvals and conditions of approval. The applicant
proposes a lesser development for Lot 2080 than what was approved. This report
does not deal with the proposed Tronox camp at Lot 2065 for which there are no
proposed amendments to the size of the camp. The Wheatbelt JDAP is now part of
the Midwest/Wheatbelt JDAP.
COMMENT
The Midwest/Wheatbelt JDAP is the approving authority for
this application. The Council may make comment to the JDAP or may grant
approval in addition to the JDAP approval. Given that this is an amendment to
an existing approval resulting in a lesser sized development, it is recommended
that Council provide supporting comment only. The JDAP may call a meeting to
discuss the application, however in cases where there is a minor modification
to approved developments, the JDAP presiding member may choose to approve the
amendment without calling a meeting. This is a possibility in this case.
