- Construction, commissioning, and operation of a new tailings storage facility in previously mined pits in Area 3.
- The change is for abstraction of recirculation water as a result of seepage from in-pit storage of tailings. Abstraction of up to 3 gigalitres per annum (GL/a) to account for recirculation water in addition to 20 GL/a for dewatering is required (total of 23 GL/a). There is no change to the abstraction of groundwater that is not recirculation water, or the extent of groundwater drawdown from dewatering authorised under Schedule 1 of MS 854 (up to 140 metres of drawdown to approximately 500 metres relative to sea level (RSL)).
