It's understood KLK paid about $6 million for a 1148 hectare
mixed enterprise farm situated at Badgingarra, Dandaragan Shire<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
MALAYSIAN-owned company KLK Farms Pty Ltd has added to its
vast Western Australia farmland portfolio by purchasing a property at
Badgingarra. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
Farm Weekly understands KLK paid in the vicinity of $6
million for 2150 Badgingarra Road, Badgingarra, of 1148 hectares in the Dandaragan Shire<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
While Elders real estate sales specialist and selling agent
Kris Teakle declined to confirm the sale price, she said "it is a
magnificent farm where someone could just walk straight in and continue on
farming".<br />

<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
"It was a very well presented and top selling property
in the Badgingarra/Dandaragan area," Ms Teakle said. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
"The property is so versatile that it really lends
itself to any type of operation.<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
"The vendors previously had a Poll Dorset stud and I
believe the buyers intend to run cattle, so the only thing they would really
need to add would be cattle yards."<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
The property was marketed as a 'jewel in the crown' with
good soil types, quality pastures and good infrastructure, including a stunning
rammed earth house. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
As well as having an average annual rainfall of 550
millimetres, the property had abundant water. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
Ms Teakle said she received strong enquiry from local buyers
and some from South Australia and Victoria. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
All of KLK's Australian agricultural land investments are in
WA and including this recent purchase, it's freehold landholdings total
58,555ha. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
According to the company's 2019 annual report, it has no
leasehold investments in Australia. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
Despite the head office of its parent company Kuala Lumpur
Kepong Berhad being in Malaysia, the company has an extensive history of
farming in WA, having owned land in the State for more than 40 years and has
been steadily growing its portfolio over the past several years. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
As outline in its latest annual report, KLK's WA farmland
investments include:<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
Cattle and grain property Chilimony Farm, at Northampton, of
16,189ha;<br />

</div>
Grain and sheep property Tatchbrook Farm, Arthur River,
measuring 6516ha. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div><b>
KLK's other investments</b> around the world include the
manufacturing, plantation and property industries throughout Asia and Europe.<br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
It is regarded as a palm oil producing giant, which is its
core product. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
KLK reported that in FY2019 its Australian farming
businesses "improved substantially", with a profit of $10,500,372
compared to profits in FY2018 of $1,260,045 by increasing crop production with
higher yields and a larger cropped area. <br />
<div style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 11.25pt;">
</div>
Both the vendor and buyer declined to comment on the sale, I
wonder why?<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Global
wind energy giant Vestas notched up more than 1GW of turbine orders in
Australia over the course of 2018, as the large-scale renewable energy market continues
to boom Down Under.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">The
company reached the milestone in late December, after winning the engineering,
procurement and construction contract to build a 184MW wind farm in Western
Australia, a project being developed by Bright Energy Investments.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">The Warradarge Wind Farm, which is on
track to begin construction later this year in the state’s mid-west, has </span><a href="https://www.farmweekly.com.au/story/5836368/coorow-gains-go-ahead-for-wind-farm/"><span style="color: #226dd7; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">since been
given the green light by the WA state government</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;"></span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">The
site for the wind farm, near the town of Eneabba, has been praised by both
Vestas and newly appointed state energy minister Bill Johnston for its
“abundant” wind resource.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">“The
wind farm will have a total output of 180 megawatts with a 50pc capacity factor
– the equivalent of the average annual electricity needs of 135,000 WA homes,”
Johnston said in comments earlier this month.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">“The
state government remains committed to ensuring a transition to a renewable
energy future at the lowest cost possible to WA taxpayers.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">“By
developing renewables projects, we are demonstrating our commitment to ensuring
our State meets its 2020 Large-scale Renewable Energy Target obligations.”</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">Vestas
says the project will feature 51 V136-3.45MW turbines delivered in 3.6MW Power
Optimised Mode with hub heights of 84 meters to maximise performance in its
specific wind conditions.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">The
wind farm also signals a new focus for Vestas on the WA market , which has
lagged behind the rest of Australia on large-scale wind and solar
installations.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">This happily coincides with </span><a href="https://reneweconomy.com.au/wa-names-new-energy-minister-primes-grid-for-900mw-renewables-rush-17537/"><span style="color: #226dd7; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">a new focus on
large-scale renewables by the Labor McGowan government</span></a><span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">, which late last
year opened up the state’s south-west interconnected network to just under 1GW
of new big solar and wind, and appointed a new energy minister – Johnston – to
shepherd the process.</span></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">“We
are extremely pleased to work with Bright Energy Investments on this project,”
said Vestas Asia Pacific President Clive Turton in comments.</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm;">

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Lora",serif; font-size: 13.0pt;">The
group’s general manager of investments, Tom Frood, said the “high calibre of
the parties involved” and the appointment of Vestas would ensure that wind farm
was delivered on-schedule.</span></div>

tremendous renewable energy resources, and we believe the Yandin Wind Farm will
harness one of the best, if not the best wind resource in the country.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“I’m also happy to announce the we’re

Dandaragan, said the sod turning was an important step in the Shire’s plan to
make the area WA’s renewable hub.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">“The Yandin Wind Farm is a great
example of the Shire of Dandaragan’s desire to be recognised as the centre of
renewable energy in WA, and it’s terrific to hear the project partners talk
about the region’s potential.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">"Our aspiration to be the centre
of renewable energy in WA is driven by input from our community, so I hopefully
speak on their behalf when I say we are looking forward to the project becoming
operational. We also welcome contact from other developers who would like to
investigate how the Shire can support them to make our vision a reality,” he
said.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The 214 MW Yandin Wind
Farm will comprise 51 (4.2 MW) turbines. The project is expected to cost
approximately $400 million and will generate around 150 jobs during
construction.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">Between January and June 2020, over
50,000 tonnes of turbines and machinery will be transported to site. The
project will require close to 1 million hours of labour, which will be
dedicated to constructing the wind farm to highest standards.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The turbines will only occupy around
0.03% of the project site, which means farming and existing land uses can
co-exist.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The high-quality wind resource in the
region means the wind farm’s long-term capacity factor is projected to
be around 50 per cent, which may be the country’s highest.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 19.5pt; margin-bottom: 12.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 12.0pt;"><span style="color: #757370; font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-AU;">The wind farm will connect to Western
Power’s 330 kV electricity network via a new 10 km transmission line and
terminal station that will be built, owned and operated by Western Power. <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>PROPOSAL</b> To consider a development application for an
extractive industry (gravel) on Lot 3 Rowes Road, Yathroo (the Site). </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b>BACKGROUND</b> The
proposal is to be situated in the north-western portion of the property, which
is approximately 26km south-south-east from the Dandaragan town-site, and 11km
north-east from Regans Ford. The property comprises a total area of 1039.23ha
and is accessed via Rowes Rd to the north and Gillingarra Rd to the south. The
Site is part of a broad-acre farming property owned and managed by the
proponent for livestock grazing and cropping.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Site contains an
existing shallow gravel pit of approximately 2.9ha in area that has been used
on an irregular basis for gravel extraction by the Shire for road-making
materials. The proposal intends to increase this pit to approximately 46.6ha.
It is envisaged the gravel would be used as foundation material for further
roadmaking and in other infrastructure projects in the locality such as the
wind farms.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The proponent intends
to enter into a commercial arrangement with a suitably experienced civil
construction company / extractive industry operator to further develop the
gravel resource, rather than undertake gravel extraction directly. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Site is zoned
Rural under Local Planning Scheme No. 7 (LPS7), where such a land use is “A”;
meaning it is not permitted unless the local government has exercised its
discretion by granting development approval after giving special notice in
accordance with Clause 64 of the Deemed Provisions of LPS7.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Planning assessment
guidance of an extractive industry proposal outside the Perth and Peel planning
regions is provided by the Western Australian Planning Commission’s Fact Sheet
- Basic Raw Materials 2016, which states the following considerations are
required to be made for an extractive industry proposal:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">• management of air, water, noise and visual impacts; <br />
• location and stability of excavations, stock piles and overburden dumps; <br />
• amenity of adjacent land uses in the local community; and <br />
• rehabilitation of the land consistent with its long-term future use. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The Environmental
Protection Authority’s Guidance Statement No.3 - Separation Distances between
Industrial and Sensitive Land Uses (GS3) is referenced by the fact sheet for a
generic, non-definite buffer distance of extractive industries. GS3 is intended
to provide an approach to minimise the land use conflict between industry,
including rural industries and surrounding sensitive land uses. These buffer
distances are not a substitute for taking all necessary measures to contain
impacts on-site. GS3 provides a buffer distance of 300-500m between extractive
industries and sensitive land uses, depending on the size of the operation, as
buffer distances are influenced by: site characteristics; the proposed location
of infrastructure; access routes; pits and stockpiles; and the extraction method.
</span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Appendix 1 of the
Shire’s Rural Local Planning Strategy 2012 and <br />
Annexure 7 of the Shire’s Draft Local Planning Strategy 2016 <br />
both reinforce the above by the listing like matters to be addressed in
assessment of applications for extractive industries.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><b><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>COMMENT</b> The Site is
surrounded by other Rural zoned properties, with the nearest residence
(currently unoccupied) located 850m west from the property boundary and 950m
from the proposed pit. This complies with GS3’s recommended buffer distance of
500m from sensitive land uses. The next adjacent residence is located
approximately 2.3km northwest. The proposal will also be visually screened by
vegetation from the Rowes Road access point, with 350m being the nearest
distance the pit is to be located away from the entry. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The proposal is
subject to comply to with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997
at all times. The extractive industry is not considered to operate at noises
above these regulations given: there will be no blasting activities; operations
will only operate during normal daytime business hours, Monday to Saturday;
only modern low noise operating machinery will be used; and the proposal
complies with the recommended buffer distance.<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Dust is another major
amenity concern of the development. Dust management of site activities will be
as follows:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
1. Disturbance of topsoil - this poses the major risk of dust generation given
the finer particle size within topsoil. To minimise such generation this
activity will be confined to the wetter months, April to October, when the
topsoil material would be less likely to be transported by wind due to its
moisture content.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
2. Excavation and loading of gravel - residual dust particles during this
activity is expected to be locally confined to the pit itself, as the
relatively coarse particle size of gravel and its sandy soil matrix isn't
conducive to long separation transport by wind; and<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
3. Transport of gravel - with the offsite transport route being sealed, dust is
easily managed in this activity by sufficiently covering truckloads with
tarpaulins. The proponent will ensure internal access ways are maintained to a
sufficient compact surface level to limit transport dust generation within the
Site. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Given the proposal
seeks to increase gravel extraction by 15 times its current size there needs to
be the consideration of the impact of the proposal on biodiversity. The
proposal is located within the property confides cleared of remnant vegetation
with only a small portion of individual trees and scrubs required to be cleared
within the extraction footprint; which are exempted from requiring a clearing
permit as they are more than 50m from any other native vegetation. The Site is
also not considered to contain priority agricultural land. Further to this,
there is also limited impact to ground and surface water from the proposal, as
outlined in the points below:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"> There is no apparent water runoff/flooding risk of the pit
given the well-drained permeable, low gradient and predominantly gravelly soils
contained within.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span> There is no risk of stream
sedimentation or other adverse impacts of extraction activities on natural
drainage systems due to the significant distance to the nearest watercourses
(9km to Moore River and 14km to Caren Brook).<span style="margin: 0px;">
</span><br />
The site is sufficiently elevated above the water-table to avoid any
possibility of evacuation adversely affecting groundwater systems.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><br />
<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span> No acid sulfate soil conditions occur
within the property and the physiography and geology are not conducive to the
presence of such.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>In terms of
biosecurity, the Department of Primary Industries and Regional Development
after consultation has recommended the applicant submits a Weed Management Plan
to ensure minimal biosecurity risk for the landowner and the adjoining farms
along the transport route. This will be required as a condition of development
approval.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Traffic management is
a concern of the proposed development. The Site access and egress would be via
Rowes Road, linking onto Dandaragan Road. These access roads proposed are
suitable for the volume of traffic and type of heavy vehicles. This route,
between Brand Highway and the entrance to the property is 16km in length, all
of which is sealed and in good condition, except for approximately 275m of slip
road at the access bend to Rowes Road.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">This slip road access to the property shown in the picture
below is of concern, Shire officers have sought advice from Main Roads WA –
Wheatbelt Regional Office regarding the following issues:<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The
entry/exit point is on a sweeping 90 degree bend on Rowes Road. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Vegetation limits sight distance for drivers
entering Rowes Road. <span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>With the above in
mind, there are concerns that the proposed increased number of heavy vehicles
entering and existing site onto Rowes Road may not be able to do so in a safe
manner.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">To mitigate these traffic issues the applicant has proposed
to install appropriate hazard advice signage and remove some roadside
vegetation to improve sightlines. Main Roads WA have indicated that the
preferred method to improve safety at the intersection could be the
installation of a T junction intersection to Rowes Road to be constructed as
detailed in the green aerial image overlay below. This would be similar to the
intersection with Rowes Road and Bidgerabbie Road some 9km north of the
proposed site, which was installed by the Shire through Blackspot Funding due
to similar road safety issues. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>These issues need to
be discussed further with Main Roads WA, Shire officers and the proponent to
clarify exact conditions of approval prior to operations commencing. This may
include the proponent having to undertake a road safe audit and concept design
for an approved site access with Rowes Road at the cost of the proponent. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;">The entrance gate will be appropriately secured and
signposted for access from authorised persons only and warning of “Heavy
Vehicles in Operation” and “Evacuation in Process”. Site visitors will be
required to contact loader drivers by CB Radio or the site manager by mobile,
and report to the site office. Internally the access is track is an unsealed
all weather surface, which as mentioned previously, the proponent will ensure
is maintained year round through its contractual arrangements with a third
party operator.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The proponent notes
the predicted number and size of trucks accessing the site will fluctuate with
demand for gravel. If the site is successful in winning the future tender to
supply the construction of the wind farms, it is anticipated for an approximate
six month period that the Site will have an estimated 30 trucks per day with
loads varying from 12 to 48 tonnes. After this period the demand is predicted
to fall, with only 2-4 trucks predicted to be realised per day. To ensure sustainable
road maintenance upkeep of the proponent’s transport route a condition of
approval will ensure a fee of 50cents per estimated tonne transported offsite
is paid to the Shire annually.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>The final
consideration of the development is rehabilitation post gravel extraction. A
condition of approval will ensure the site is restored to its current broadarce
farming use. To reinforce this, the proponent will be required to submit a
bond/guarantee or other acceptable form of security to the Shire to be held in
trust until rehabilitation is undertaken to the Shire’s satisfaction. To assist
in rehabilitation the proponent will stockpile topsoil for respreading and
levelling during this final process. Shrubs and trees endemic to the area are
also proposed to be scatter planted over the Site.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>
<br />
<div style="margin: 0px 0px 10.66px;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="margin: 0px;"> </span>Provided the above,
it is considered the proposed use is consistent with the intent of the Rural
zone given it enables an ancillary rural activity to co-exist with the
predominant broadacre use of the land in a manner that will not impact on the
rural character and amenity of the area. Furthermore, given gravel extraction
is a temporary use, the land can continue to be used for broadacre farming once
the extractive industry operation has ceased. Therefore, the extractive
industry application is recommended for approval subject to conditions.<span style="margin: 0px;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Mineral sands miner Iluka
Resources has approved development of its Cataby project in Western Australia
after confirming offtake agreements for majority of its synthetic rutile
production.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Iluka has secured ‘take-or-pay’ offtake agreements for 85 per
cent of production from its Synthetic Rutile kiln 2 operation at Capel in WA
for at least four years.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Cataby project, a large chloride ilmenite deposit 150km
north of Perth, will support the ongoing production of 200,000 tonnes
of synthetic rutile from Capel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Iluka expects Cataby to cost up to $275 million to build. It
will require a construction workforce of 250 people and 160 full-time employees
once it is operational.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">The Perth-based miner plans to launch production at Cataby
during the second quarter of 2019 following an 18-month construction period.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Tom O’Leary, Iluka’s managing director, said the company worked
closely with customers to secure offtake agreements for a significant
proportion of the synthetic rutile production associated with the Cataby
project.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">“The project ensures that our customers will have continuity of
synthetic rutile supply; and also delivers significant economic benefits to two
separate regions in Western Australia – Dandaragan and Capel,” O’Leary said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">
<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">“The construction period – with works to cost between $250
million to $275 million – will employ up to 250 workers at its peak. Once in
operation, the project will sustain a workforce of approximately 160 people.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div style="background: white; box-sizing: border-box; hyphens: none; line-height: 18.0pt; margin-bottom: 15.0pt; margin-left: 0cm; margin-right: 0cm; margin-top: 0cm; word-wrap: normal;">

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Iluka has forecast Cataby to produce an average of 370,000
tonnes of chloride ilmenite a year over an 8.5-year mine life. Cataby will also
produce an average of 50,000 tonnes of zircon and 30,000 tonnes of rutile a
year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">The operation’s mine life has the potential to be extended by
another four years by accessing an additional 40 million tonnes of ore in its
reserve.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: #444444; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 10.0pt;">Iluka has already obtained environmental approvals for Cataby,
completed detailed engineering, established a project team, and procured long
lead items.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">BACKGROUND</span></b>
This applicant is seeking approval to construct an additional two grain storage
open bulkheads at the Regans Ford Grain Receival Depot. <br />
The zoning of Lot 10 Dandaragan Road under Local Planning Scheme No.7 is
“Rural” The objective of the rural zone in the Scheme is; <br />
To provide for a range of rural activities such as broadacre and diversified
farming so as to retain the rural character and amenity of the locality, in
such a way as to prevent land degradation and further loss of biodiversity. <br />
The land use class that most closely aligns with the proposed development is
“Industry- rural”. Which is an “A” use under the Rural Zone in the Scheme. ‘A’
means that the use is not permitted unless the local government has exercised
its discretion by granting planning approval after giving special notice in
accordance with the Scheme. There are no specific development requirements for
this land use under the Scheme. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">COMMENT</span></b>
The proposal is for additional grain storage bins at the subject site and will
be constructed adjoining an existing similar open bulkhead. The proposed
additional bins are complimentary to the existing land use on this site. <br />
There is however likely to be additional heavy (grain) truck and road train
movements along Dandaragan Road as a result of the increased grain storage
potential. <br />
Whilst there is a deceleration lane on the entry (north) side of Dandaragan
Road for vehicles travelling down the hill, there is no similar acceleration
lane at the exit on Dandaragan Road for vehicles heading either south or north.
<br />
This section of road has limited passing opportunities for cars with double
white lines. <o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
The Emu Downs Solar Farm will be co-located with wind turbines and is one of 12 new large scale solar projects around Australia supported by ARENA through its large-scale solar competitive round.<br />
<br />
The Emu Downs Solar Farm is being developed by APA Group and is expected to produce enough energy to power 6,700 homes and create an estimated 100 jobs during construction, mostly in the local region.<br />
<br />
ARENA CEO, Ivor Frischknecht, said ARENA’s support for Australia’s large-scale solar industry meant solar plants like Emu Downs would be cheaper to build and provide efficient electricity to Australians.<br />
<br />
“Emu Downs Solar Farm would not have been viable just a few years ago,” Mr Frischknecht said.<br />
<br />
“ARENA has been instrumental in driving down the cost of building a solar farm in Australia since it was established in 2012.<br />
<br />
“The ARENA funding ask for big solar projects has dropped significantly from half of total project costs to just 10 per cent on average. In this latest funding round, every dollar of ARENA funding is leveraging $10 from other sources.”<br />
<br />
Mr Frischknecht said this price drop made solar farms attractive to investors, as evidenced by the fact that ARENA’s $92 million large-scale solar program has leveraged $1 billion of investment in the 12 farms, which together will triple Australia’s large-scale solar capacity.<br />
<br />
“This new generation of solar farms is also proving to be attractive to energy retailers. I’m delighted that Emu Downs Solar Farm has entered into a 13-year power purchase agreement to sell electricity and generation certificates to energy retailer, Synergy,” Mr Frischknecht said.<br />
<br />
The agreement is for Synergy to purchase both the energy and the Large-scale Renewable Generation Certificates (LGCs) from the Emu Downs Solar Farm for 13 years from January 2018.<br />
<br />
APA Group Managing Director, Mr Mick McCormack, said, “It is pleasing to be able to announce this project, which is the type of energy infrastructure asset that APA will continue to invest in.<br />
<br />
“The Emu Downs Solar Project forms part of the execution of our growth strategy in the renewables power generation asset class. The expansion of APA’s existing Emu Downs Wind Farm with the complementary solar generation makes logical and financial sense both from a power generation profile, as well as sharing transmission connection infrastructure.<br />
<br />
“Funding from ARENA also demonstrates the innovative and viable business model of the project that will help Australia transition to a cleaner energy future.”<br />
<br />
Boosting regional economies<br />
<br />
Mr Frischknecht said the six plants in Queensland, five in New South Wales and one in Western Australia funded as part of the large-scale solar round would be a huge boost to regional economies with the projected creation of around 2,300 direct jobs and thousands more indirect jobs.<br />
<br />
“It demonstrates that along with support increased solar installation, the ARENA effect is bringing down costs faster and fostering growth in Australia’s renewable energy sector,” Mr Frischknecht said.<br />
<br />
Mr Frischknecht said the Emu Downs Solar Farm was joining the growing number of co-located Australian wind and solar projects.<br />
<br />
“It will share a transmission connection and facilities with APA’s existing 80MW Emu Downs Wind Farm. This approach saves money on grid connection, approvals and site development and reduces environmental impacts,” Mr Frischknecht said.<br />
<br />
“Solar and wind are complementary renewable energy sources. As solar generates energy during the day, wind farms tend to generate more power overnight in WA, co-locating wind and solar delivers more continuous energy generation and makes good business sense.<br />
<br />
“Across the board, the move to co-location of wind and solar means solar plants can be rolled out more quickly and cheaply across the country. A recent ARENA-supported study found there’s an estimated 1000MW of potential opportunities to add solar alongside existing wind farms – that’s enough to power 700,000 homes.”<br />
<br />
Emu Downs Solar Farm is expected to be completed in January 2018.Evanbradhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12054787641783891439noreply@blogger.comDandaragan WA 6507, Australia-30.6953762 115.56810840000003-31.568880699999998 114.27721490000003 -29.8218717 116.85900190000002tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8594732444325219984.post-17522608968329380662017-03-18T02:32:00.000-07:002017-03-18T02:33:37.856-07:00Proposed Intensive Piggery<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>PROPOSAL </b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The applicant is seeking planning approval for an intensive piggery located on
Lot 3616 Agaton Road, Dandaragan. This application is required to be determined
by the Regional Development Assessments Panel (Midwest/Wheatbelt JDAP). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>BACKGROUND</b> <br />
Lot 3616 Agaton Road is located in the Shire of Dandaragan and borders the
Shire of Moora. <br />
It is located on the east side of Agaton Road approximately 8km
north of its junction with North West Road (Badgingarra / Moora Road). <br />
The site
is located 16 km northwest of the Moora town-site and 22 km northeast of the
Dandaragan town-site and the <a href="http://redgumvillage.com.au/" target="_blank">Redgum Village,</a> north of Perth. <br />
The lot comprises 1481 ha and is currently
used for low intensity cattle farming with around 250 head of cattle and
seasonal cropping, wheat and lupins. <br />
These uses will continue alongside the
piggery. <br />
Westpork has entered into an agreement with the previous owners of the
property - Aumin Pty Ltd – to lease back the land not used by the piggery. <br />
Westpork is seeking Planning Approval for Module 1 (Moora 1) and Module 2
(Moora 2) under the Shire of Dandaragan Local Planning Scheme No 7. Moora 1 and
Moora 2 will have the capacity to house approximately 68,000 pigs. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Longer term site planning provides for a third Module with the capacity for a
further 34,000 pigs. Approval for Module 3 (Moora 3) will be subject of a
future Application. <br />
Lot 3616 is zoned “Rural” under the Shire of Dandaragan Local Planning Scheme
No 7 – District Zoning Scheme. <br />
The proposed use of a Piggery falls under the Use Class of “Animal Husbandry –
Intensive” which is identified in the Zoning Table as a “D” (discretionary)
Use. Whilst the application does not require advertising under the Scheme,
shire staff were of the view that the proposed scale of the development would
potentially have a significant impact on surrounding landowners and therefore
warranted advertising seeking community comment. Section 5.3.4 “Avoiding land
use conflict” of the </div>

<i>Registering of
notifications on land titles alerting surrounding landowners to amenity impacts

purchasing land will be made aware that living in or close to an agricultural
area may impinge on their quality of lifestyle. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The proposed piggery is consistent with the Shire’s current
Local Planning Strategy – “Rural Land Use and Rural Settlement December 2012 as
well as the advertised draft Local Planning Strategy – December 2016 being
within an area identified for Rural purposes to accommodate a range of rural
pursuits including intensive agricultural production. The proposed piggery is
also consistent with State and Regional Strategies. <br />
Most properties in the locality are cleared and used for grazing and cropping including
those to the immediate south, west and north. The land to the immediate east
and south-east comprises a large area of bushland. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The locality of the site is also experiencing intensification of agricultural
pursuits with two citrus farms on Agaton Road and Prices Road. <br />
There are three residences within 2km of the site. <br />
The proposed piggery is a “Farrow to Finish” (breeding to finish) operation and
comprises two “modules”, one situated adjacent to the central northern boundary
(Moora 1) and the second situated adjacent to the central southern boundary
(Moora 2). Each module will comprise a series of prefabricated modular sheds to

Wastewater from each piggery module will flow into settlement traps before
entering an anaerobic pond. The effluent discharged from the anaerobic pond then
enters a facultative pond with the treated effluent finally being discharged to
an evaporation pond. <br />
<br />
All traps, ponds and channels will be fully lined and the ponds have been sized
using real daily Bureau of Meteorology data to ensure adequate freeboard in
extreme rainfall events. <br />
Solid manure wastes from the Fan Separator will be applied to the site in the
‘reuse area’ in accordance with a Nutrient Management Plan (NMP). Solid waste
from the trenches and pond systems will be exported off site to an approved
disposal location. <br />
Animal carcasses and inert waste generated will be disposed of on-site in an
appropriate manner (Burial). </div>

<i>A Traffic Impact
Assessment of the proposed piggery has been undertaken by Shawmac Traffic
Engineers [Appendix 2]. The Assessment, which was based on construction and
operation of all three modules, concluded that: <br />
The predicted traffic generation from the site for all three modules is 86
vehicles per day. Delivery trucks will travel south via Agaton Road, North West
Road, Dandaragan Road and across to Moora Townsite <br />
Expected average increase in traffic using these roads will not adversely
impact the operation of the existing road network. <br /><br />
</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Sight distances at the Agaton Road / North West Road intersection are
considered to be satisfactory, except the truck Entering Sight Distance from Agaton
Road. This will require some clearing of roadside vegetation or the
installation of an intersection warning sign <br />
No modifications are considered necessary to the intersection of Agaton Road
and North West Road Crash history for five years to December 2015 for the
Agaton Road / North West Road intersection indicated a total of five crashes;
two involved animals and three involved trees <br />
The overall development will be serviced by two access points on Agaton Road
and there is clear sight distance in both directions from the proposed access
locations to vehicles travelling along Agaton Road and there are no anticipated
safety issues; and <o:p></o:p></i></div>

<i>Preliminary
discussions between Westpork and representatives of the Shire of Dandaragan and
the Shire of Moora indicated a willingness on the part of both Shires to seek
government funding for the upgrade of Agaton Road to a 9m sealed surface. <br />
The Shires view the sealing of Agaton Road as beneficial not only to the
piggery but also Agrifresh as well as being a means of attracting further
development and particularly intensive agricultural projects to the area. <o:p></o:p></i></div>

<b>Shire staff comment:</b>
<br />
The last traffic count data collected along Agaton Road was in June 2015 for a
period of 67 days including an average daily traffic of 27 vehicles per day.
The proposed piggery application indicates an increase from 27 vehicles per day
to 113 vehicles per days along Agaton Road. <br />
Under Main Roads WA’s Heavy Vehicle Operations Agaton Road is a local access
rate that is Conditionally Rated as Restricted Access Vehicle (RAV) Networks 3
– 6, with the following conditions “no operation on unsealed road segment when
visibly wet, without road owner's approval. Not to be used as a through route.
For local delivery and pickup only. Driver must carry documentation as proof of
local delivery or pickup”. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Agaton Road is also subjected to traffic commuting to and from the Agrifresh
operations at various locations along this road. Ongoing maintenance and
renewal issues have been prevalent along this road, especially during wet
weather as well as heavy haulage during the drier summer months. Renewal
activities in the past few years have included gravel re-sheeting with 150mm of
gravel along at least 12 kilometres of road in a northerly direction from the
North West Road intersection in an effort to improve the road condition. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Agaton Road, like any gravel road, remains susceptible to deterioration
associated with increased travel movements, especially increased heavy haulage.
Shire staff have concerns regarding the ongoing conditions of this road with
the proposed increased traffic movements. The condition of the road will need
to be monitored and potential methods for funding of expected increased
maintenance and renewal costs will need to be investigated. <br />

and guideline recommendations for spreading of manure indicate that with
suitable management, the site is suitable for the spreading and assimilation of
manure. <br />
It is proposed to spread manure from the operation which has been pre-treated
via a screw press to remove liquids. Sludge from the sedimentation trenches and
basins will not be applied on site, but will be exported for use by a third
party. Material treated via the screw press will be applied to a 1,236 ha reuse

<i>A Level 1 odour impact
assessment in accordance with DER’s Draft Separation Distances Guidance
Statement has been undertaken to determine the appropriate buffer distances to
each module of the proposed piggery. <br />
The assessment is based on the number of Standard Pig Units, the odour
potential having regard for waste treatment and management systems, the
potential dispersion and the terrain and has been calculated at 2.5km from each
piggery unit. <br /><br />
</i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Based on calculated buffer distance of 2.5km, Moora 2 is compliant with this
recommended buffer distance whereas Moora 1 intersects a residence located at
831 Agaton Road (Lot 3615), approximately 1.7 km west from the activity
boundary and a residence located at 1126 Agaton Road (Lot 3611), approximately
1.9 km north from the activity boundary. The site is well buffered from the
rural township of Moora, and from other surrounding rural residential
receptors. <br />
Consultation with the owners of the two rural residential properties located to
the west and north of Moora 1 has confirmed that these properties are vacant
and may be used occasionally, but are not the primary residences of the owners.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The residence to the north of the property is occasionally used by the owners
when they tend to their general farming duties at the property. The owners’

The residence to the west is currently vacant. The owners reside on the eastern
side of Moora. Westpork intends approaching the owners with the object of
leasing the residence for personnel working at the piggery. <br /><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Operation of pig sheds, specifically ventilation fans
(small, medium or large). The sound power levels of the different fans were
measured at Westpork’s Mindarra piggery (Gingin) and were 84 dB (A) (small and
medium fans) and 89 dB (A) (large fans). Pigs – Moving of the pigs within the
finishing shed by operators causes them to squeal or grunt at a sound power
level of 80 dB (A). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Noise modelling of these sources was undertaken by Herring
Storer Acoustics. A night time operating scenario was modelled, as this
represents periods of worst case noise emissions for Westpork. <br />
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>This scenario was highly conservative as
it:</b> <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>1. assumed all fans on
all sheds were operating at all times, where in reality during the night most
fans would not be operational, as the ventilation system is designed for peak
heat periods during hot summer days, with fans progressively shutting down
during the evening or not be operational at all during winter. <o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>2. assumed for each
shed, pig squeal noise was emitted, where in practice workers rarely move pigs
at night, and therefore pigs would be undisturbed and unlikely to squeal/grunt.
<o:p></o:p></i></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>The modelling report
indicates noise levels received at the nearest neighboring premises would
comply with the Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 under a night
time (worst case) scenario. The noise level experienced at these noise sensitive
receptors would range from 11 to 26 dB (A) which complies with the applicable
LA10 assigned noise level of 35 dB (A). <br />
The piggeries will be operated to comply with the Environmental Protection
(Noise) Regulations 1997. Routine observations and inspections will be
undertaken in regard to noise. Onsite management will be informed of the
results of inspections and observations and will implement contingency actions
to ensure compliance with Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997. <br />
<br />
If complaints suggest that noise impacts are occurring a site inspection will
immediately be conducted to determine the source. If the source can be readily
addressed this will be rectified and action taken to prevent a recurrence. If
the source requires changes in the design or management of the piggeries to be
addressed the facility production rate will be reduced to the extent necessary
to prevent noise impacts while the design change is implemented. Westpork will
advise the complainant of the corrective action taken and the preventative
measures proposed to prevent future disturbance to the complainer.<br />
Due to non-constant nature of the noise
sources, and the distance to the nearest residence (1.7 km away from the
activity boundary), it is unlikely the amenity of residences will be
significantly impacted. The risk is considered to be low</i>. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Four bores have been installed around the Stage 1 (Moora 1)
wastewater treatment system and will be monitored. An additional four bores
will be installed around the Stage 2 (Moora 2) wastewater treatment system
during construction of this system. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A Level 1 odour impact assessment in accordance with DER’s
Draft Separation Distances Guidance Statement has identified a calculated
buffer distance of 2.5km. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moora 2 is compliant with this recommended buffer distance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Moora 1 intersects a residence located at 831 Agaton Road
(Lot 3615), approximately 1.7 km west from the activity boundary and a
residence located at 1126 Agaton Road (Lot 3611), approximately 1.9 km north
from the activity boundary. Based on consultation with the owners of these two
rural residential properties the properties are vacant, and may be used
occasionally, but are not the primary residences of the owners. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Regardless of the occupancy status of these properties, best
practice odour control measures will be implemented which Westpork believes
minimise the risk of adverse impacts on amenity of residents. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Noise modelling indicates that noise levels received at the
nearest neighbouring premises from the piggery would comply with the
Environmental Protection (Noise) Regulations 1997 under a night time (worst
case) scenario. Due to the non-constant nature of the noise sources within the
piggery, and the distance to the nearest residence (1.7 km), it is unlikely the
amenity of residences will be significantly impacted. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A BAL Assessment of the proposed piggery considered all
three modules and concluded that the determined Bushfire Attack Level (highest
BAL) is BAL–12.5. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The Assessment concluded that the siting and design of each
of the three modules is appropriate to the level of bushfire threat that
applies to the site. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Fire prevention measures to be implemented at the piggery
include firebreaks around the property, on-site firefighting equipment, large
above ground storage of firefighting water and firefighting training for onsite
personnel. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Any fires that start on the premises should be managed
within minutes of starting. The site is currently not staffed on a routine
basis so the presence of the piggeries will provide a permanent on-site
presence to allow a more rapid fire response. The risk is considered very low. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The development should not significantly detract from any
scenic landscape and/or conservation attributes identified in the locality; <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>The applicant has
advised that; <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The site of the proposed piggery is located within an area
that is open rural and, for the most part, cleared for cropping and grazing.
The landform is generally mildly to moderately undulating and as a consequence
sections of the buildings forming part of Moora 1 and Moora 2 will be
occasionally visible from locations along Agaton Road. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The buildings forming each module are typically rural in
design and scale and consistent with other buildings in the locality including
those of the two citrus operations. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Agaton Road is a rural access road and primarily utilised by
owners and residents and farm workers of local properties. The eastern road
verge to Agaton road for the most part is well vegetated and generally offers
good screening into adjacent properties. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Further, the proposed piggery is consistent with Council’s
longer term planning objectives for the locality and specifically the
continuing encouragement of commercial agricultural production including
intensive agricultural production. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Given the rural location, undulating landform, rural scaled
buildings, limited and local traffic, verge screening and long term planning
objectives for the locality; it is considered that the proposed piggery is
consistent with the visual and landscape qualities of the locality.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>the land use will
have no adverse impact on the safety, health and amenity of residents in
existing dwellings and it will not sterilize land with potential for urban
expansion or other long term land needs such as mining; <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
This has been discussed in separation buffers and distances
above. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
It is noted that it is unlikely that urban expansion would
occur in proximity to this proposal. There is an exploration mining licence
70/3988 over the land (and surrounding land areas). However this is unlikely to
conflict with the land use. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b>CONSULTATION </b><br />
Note – Under Local Planning Scheme No.7 the use is not an “A” use, and
therefore did not require advertising. However given the scale of the project,
it was felt that this matter should be put to the community for comment. <br />
Advertising closed on 22 March in order to give sufficient time for comment.
The Scheme requires 14 days, however this was extended out to a month due to
publication dates of local newspapers and to give neighbours more time to make
a response. The JDAP report is due by 20 April at the latest and the next
Council meeting is on 27 April. Therefore the matter is put to this Council
meeting with minimal time to consider submissions. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Westpork has consulted with and discussed the proposal with
the owner of the vacant residence located at 831 Agaton Road, approximately 1.7
km west from the piggery activity boundary. The owner, who does not reside at
this residence, had no comments or issues with the piggery being located at 898

<b>POLICY IMPLICATIONS</b>
<br />
State Planning Policy 2.5 - Rural Planning. <br />
<br />
Section 5.8 Intensive agriculture <br />
Intensive agricultural products are important contributors to the State’s
economy and are sold to domestic and export markets. Several localities in
Western Australia produce much of the State’s produce, including Carabooda,
Gingin Brook, Perth Hills, Nowergup, Myalup, Manjimup, Donnybrook, Margaret
River, Carnarvon, and Ord River. In addition, there are other dedicated sites
that may produce a high percentage of a particular commodity in the context of
State supply. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In order to operate effectively, producers may require areas
of high agricultural productivity, water availability, suitable climatic
conditions and ready access to markets and freight networks. WAPC policy in
regard to intensive agriculture is: <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(a) intensive agriculture is generally supported and
encouraged on rural land provided rural amenity and environmental impacts can
be effectively managed; <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(b) intensive agriculture sites of State significance should
be protected from encroachment; <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(c) in considering buffer distances between intensive
agriculture and sensitive land uses, the requirements of clause 5.12 should be
observed, and the following matters may also affect the buffer – <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
i. types of chemicals used and their method of application; <br />
ii. the characteristics of the site/s, including vegetation, topography and
prevailing winds; <br />
iii. potential mitigation approaches, including fencing, vegetation buffers,
open space, road reserves and other compatible uses; and <br />
iv. potential staging and/or expansion intention of the intensive agriculture
operator; and <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
(d) where an intensive agriculture proposal may affect the
nutrient load of a river, estuary or associated tributary and the system and/or
its receiving water body has no further capacity to assimilate nutrients
without an adverse impact on ecosystem health, a reduction in nutrient export
is to be demonstrated. <o:p></o:p></div>

The Warro Gas Project in the Dandaragan Shire and 50 km from Dandaragan Town-site.</h2>
<div>
Is an exciting undertaking for industry stakeholders, the local Warro community and the joint venture partners and businesses in the <a href="http://redgumvillage.com.au/dandaragan/redgum-conference-s" target="_blank">Dandaragan,</a> Badgingarra Region.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The field has 7-10 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) in place and potentially 1-3 TcF of recoverable gas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The field is situated in a convenient location onshore in the Perth Basin, approximately 200 kilometres north of Perth in the Dandaragan shire.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It is less than 35 kilometres east of both the Dampier-Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline and the Dongara-Perth Parmelia Pipeline.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Warro Gas Field (contained within Retention Leases 6 and 7) was discovered in 1977 by WAPET when the Warro-1 well intersected with a substantial gas saturated column. Further drilling confirmed a 390 metre gas column in what is called the “Yarragadee Formation”.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Transerv became involved in the project in November 2007 when it agreed to provide $3.6 million in seed capital as a loan to Latent Petroleum, which held full ownership of the Warro Gas Project and was progressing it as its sole focus. The loan agreement offered Transerv the right to earn a 10% interest in the promising Warro Gas Field.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Less than a year later Alcoa of Australia entered into a farm-in agreement with Latent Petroleum, at which time Transerv elected to exercise its right to convert the $3.6 million loan into a 10% interest.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Under the farm-in agreement signed in 2008, Alcoa may earn a 65% interest through funding a staged farm-in evaluation program, which includes a five-well drilling program, seismic surveys and production facilities for initial production.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On 23 March 2011, Transerv announced the acquisition of Latent Petroleum, which increased its interest in the Warro Gas Project to 35% after the completion of the farm-in by Alcoa of Australia. Latent Petroleum remains operator and is continuing to evaluate the Warro Gas Project on behalf of the joint venture partners.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2009 and 2011, Latent Petroleum drilled two wells (Warro-3 and Warro-4) and acquired a 3D seismic survey over the field. Gas was safely produced from both wells.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A group of independent experts based in the USA completed a detailed analysis of the available data (including 3D seismic data) on the Warro Gas Field in 2012. The analysis confirmed significant quantities of gas are held within the field with the potential to flow at high rates.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
As a result of these conclusions the Warro Joint Venture decided in late 2014 to continue its evaluation of the field by the drilling of Warro 5 and 6 during the second half of 2015.</div>
<div>
Originally falling within Exploration Permits 321 and 407, the Warro Field area location was granted to Latent by the DMP in September 2008.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In December 2014, the Warro Joint Venture successfully applied for the locations over the field to be converted to Retention Leases 6 and 7. Additionally, the remainder of EP407 was relinquished in full along with four graticular blocks in EP321, developments required by statutory regulations.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The Warro Joint Venture also successfully negotiated a Native Title Agreement with the Yued people during 2014. This agreement allows for field operations through development and production to take place.</div>

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In 2015, Latent Petroleum, as operator of the Warro Gas Project, is conducting a third phase of work. This includes drilling two wells more than four kilometres into the earth to fracture stimulate rocks and encourage the gas contained within the reservoirs to flow to the surface.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The work fully complies with the Environmental Protection Authority’s (EPA) guidelines on hydraulic fracturing released in December 2014. The work has also undergone a stringent review by the WA Department of Mines and Petroleum with input from the Departments of Water; Agriculture; and Parks & Wildlife.</div>
<div>
The process for extracting gas and bringing it to the surface (detailed below) has been scrutinised by the EPA, which has determined it will not have a significant environmental impact. In making this assessment, the EPA considered many environmental factors including the activity’s impact on water, air and human health.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The extraction process used by Latent Petroleum is a thoroughly tested approach that eliminates any chance of gas or other fluids escaping and contaminating water aquifers or the air. The gas will be extracted far below (more than 3,500 metres below) any existing water bores that tap water from about 100 metres below the surface. The wells are designed to the highest environmental and safety standards, checked to ensure they are safe during construction and continuously monitored throughout their life.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In its most basic form, the extraction process will involve pumping water deep into a well at high pressure. It forces tiny, localised cracks or “fractures” into the rocks which are held open with sand grains or proppant. This means the permeability of the rocks is greatly increased, allowing the gas held in the tight rocks to flow to surface. All producing wells are carefully designed to provide long term, safe and reliable flow of gas.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The well bores are lined with three protective layers of steel and cement to bring the gas to surface safely and are monitored continuously to ensure well integrity is maintained.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Latent Petroleum will publicly disclose and monitor the small amount of chemicals used during the extraction process. In line with regulations, all the chemicals will be isolated at the surface and any aquifer units will be protected by at least two pressure barriers. At the end of the Warro Gas Project, Latent Petroleum will return the environment to its natural state with no trace of work activities – an obligation also dictated by industry regulation.</div>

results in a lesser sized development. An amendment (reduced site plan)
application was refused at the 18 January 2017 Midwest/Wheatbelt Joint
Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) due to a differing interpretation of the

Wheatbelt Joint Development Assessment Panel 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 Joint
Development Assessment Panel is provided in the attachments listing the
approvals and conditions of approval. <br />
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. Council
considered the application for lesser development at the 15 December 2016
Council meeting and recommended approval to the Midwest/Wheatbelt Joint
Development Assessment Panel (JDAP). <br />
The application for an amended reduced site plan was refused at the 18 January
2017 Midwest/Wheatbelt Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) as the Joint
Development Assessment Panel believed that the amendment was substantial and
required a new application with more detailed plans. The applicant has
requested that the Council determine the application in accordance with the
amended Development Assessment Panels legislation that took effect from 1
February 2017 to allow the Council to determine this application at the choice
of the applicant. <o:p></o:p></div>

The following response was provided to the Presiding Member
of the Mid-West/Wheatbelt Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP)s question
prior to the Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) meeting “why the
amendments, if approved, would not constitute a substantial change to the

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The proposed land use for workers accommodation has not
changed. The changes proposed are only related to the reduced scale of
accommodation and facilities as well as changes to the layout of the proposed
development. <br />
There will be no changes to infrastructure such as waste water and power
(confirmed by discussion with applicant). If the proposal were to be located in
an urban or semi-rural environment, then there would be a good argument that
the amendments are substantial as there would be an impact on landowners and
residents in proximity to the development, which would be of considerable
importance in the above definition. In this instance, the proposal is in a
remote rural environment and there will be no substantial impact on any nearby
landowners or residents from the reduction in facilities and amended layout,
and is therefore of minimal importance. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In addition to the above consideration, the scale (size and
worth in the above definition) of the accommodation camp has to be considered
in context to the overall project. The Iluka Campsite is one of two campsites
proposed for a large-scale mining operation approximately 250-275 million
dollars. The large-scale mining operation does not require planning approval
and is therefore not being considered as part of the development application.
If the Iluka campsite is considered in isolation to the entire project, then
there may be argument that it is substantial. <br />
However when taking into consideration the entire development associated with
this proposal, the scale of the amendments are minor in comparison and would
not in the Shire’s opinion be “substantial”. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In summary, the Shire is of the view that the proposed
amendments are not substantial when considered in context of no change to the
use and purpose of the development, the remote location, lack of any impact,
and the scale of the amendments when taking into account the overall project.
At the Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) meeting the point was raised
that the applicant could just use the existing development approval and only
construct to a lesser size. The point was also raised that it seemed overly
burdensome to make the applicant go through a new application process for what
is in effect a lesser development that has already been approved and will have
a reduced impact on the environment and amenity. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Because the Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) refused the application,
the applicant has the option of submitting a new application for the Council
consider for approval. The officer recommendation is that Council grant
approval for the lesser development with the same conditions of approval as
granted by the Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP) including any minor
amendments due to changes in legislation or Government Departments. <o:p></o:p></div>

<b><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%; mso-bidi-font-size: 11.0pt;">BACKGROUND</span></b>
Council has been discussing the possibility of acquiring the BRS since
discussions first commenced in 2012, when the Department of Agriculture and
Food WA (DAFWA) advised it would be selling off some of its assets. At
Council’s meeting held on the 26 September 2013, it was resolved: </div>

That Council

Council’s Expression of Interest (EOI) to purchase the BRS
was communicated to the Department of Lands, via representatives from the Lands
Property Asset Clearing House. On the 3 November 2015, an email was received
from Mr Tyack from the Department of Lands advising that the BRS was no longer
surplus due to a proposed business direction and will be retained for ongoing
research therefore, removing it from their disposal program. <br />
However, since this time, the proposed business direction did not occur in
which DAFWA then advertised the BRS for lease as of 1 February 2016 for 12
months. On the 10 December 2015, Council held a special meeting and resolved
the following: <o:p></o:p></div>

Council’s EOI to lease the BRS was successful with a lease
agreement being signed in May 2016 for a 12 month period commencing from 24 May
2016 with an option of a further 12 months. The WMG currently sublease and
manage the property as it has done for the last three to four years. On the 31
January 2017 Cr Richardson, representing the Shire President, and the CEO met
with the Minister for Agriculture and Food the Hon Mark Lewis MLC together with
representatives from the WMG, the Badgingarra Community Association and DAFWA.
It was discussed at this meeting that an extension to the lease would allow the
current operations to continue while decisions could be made at a State
Government level in relation to the future of the BRS. The group generally
agreed that a three (3) year term would be ideal.<o:p></o:p></div>

<b>PROPOSAL </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>BACKGROUND </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>COMMENT </b><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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. <o:p></o:p></div>
