The proposal is to construct and operate a barge loading facility south of Mowbowra Creek in the Shire of Exmouth for the export of limestone proposed to be mined from the nearby Whitecrest Limestone Mine.

The proponent has indicated that a future proposal to develop a larger shipping facility, including a dredged shipping approach, is envisaged. Such a proposal is not considered as part of this assessment, and will require further environmental impact assessment at a later stage should the proponent wish to proceed with such a proposal.
