Details: Invitation to make a submission
The Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) invites the public to make a submission on this proposal.
Kalgoorlie Consolidate Gold Mines Pty Ltd (KCGM) proposes to undertake an extension of the Fimiston Open Pit located 600 km east of Perth, on the eastern boundary of the City of Kalgoorlie-Boulder. The extension will include a westerly cutback (known as the ‘Golden Pike Cutback'), the creation of additional waste rock dumps and provide additional tailings storage capacity for the Fimiston Operations. This Project also outlines KCGM's commitment and strategy for mine closure currently scheduled for 2017. In accordance with the Environmental Protection Act, this Public Environmental Review (PER) has been prepared which describes the proposal and its likely effects on the environment. The PER is available for a public review period of 8 weeks from 4 September 2006 closing on 30 October 2006.
Comments from government agencies and from the public will assist the EPA to prepare an assessment report in which it will make recommendations to government. If you are able to, the EPA would welcome electronic submissions in particular, emailed to the project assessment officer or via the EPA's Website.
