About the proposal

Ironstone Developments is seeking to develop a new hard rock quarry called Deep Creek Quarry, located off The Bucketts Way north of Limeburners Creek in New South Wales.

The facility, if approved, will produce a range of quarry materials, including road base and high grip aggregate materials used in road construction and decorative landscaping products.

Currently an environmental impact statement (EIS) is being developed for assessment by the NSW Department of Planning, Industry and Environment (DPIE). The EIS must consider and investigate potential issues and impacts, as well as opportunities that may result from the proposal.

This includes potential impacts to flora, fauna and water, and from noise, dust, and traffic. It also considers economic opportunities, jobs, the use of local suppliers and investment in infrastructure. Find out more

How will feedback be used

All feedback will be used in a report as part of the Environmental Impact Assessment application for the State Significant Development for the proposed development.

When the proposal is submitted to the Department of Planning and Environment for assessment, there will be a public exhibition period and interested members of the community will be able to provide formal feedback on the proposed development.
