The proposal is situated on Mining Leases M77/999 and M77/1000, approximately 130 kilometres north of Southern Cross in the Shire of Yilgarn. The proposal is to mine iron ore by open cut mining below the groundwater table in the portion of the W3/5 Deposit at Windarling Range. The depth of the open-cut mine will increase from nominally 400 metres Australian Height Datum (AHD) to nominally 315 metres AHD. Read more...Last updated: August 1, 2012
The proposal is for the construction of an onshore marina (and associated boating infrastructure e.g. boat pens, jetties, navigational aids, entrance channel, protective groynes, public boat ramps and car parks) on the western side of the Point Grey peninsula. The proposal also includes the construction of a 2.5 kilometre navigation channel across the Harvey Estuary from the marina to the Dawesville Channel. Read more...Last updated: July 24, 2012
The proposal is to develop and operate a direct shipping iron ore project in the Pilbara. The project involves the open-cut mining of eight small pits approximately 70 kilometres east of Port Hedland to obtain direct shipping ore quality haematite. Annual ore production will be 1.5 million tonnes. Read more...Last updated: June 19, 2012

The proposal is to clear up to 3.7 hectares of native vegetation for a limestone quarry, to screen the material on-site, re-establish an access road and rehabilitate all of the disturbed areas. Read more...Last updated: May 30, 2012
The proposal is for open-cut mining of iron ore (haematite) below the groundwater table at the currently mined W2 pit at Windarling, approximately 90 kilometres north-north-east of Koolyanobbing. The open-cut mine will require a depth increase of approximately 114 metres from nominally 402 metres Australian Height Datum (AHD) to 288 metres AHD. This will enable mining of an estimated six million tonnes of ore. Read more...Last updated: May 4, 2012

The proposal is to supply power to an expanded mining operation at the Telfer Gold Mine. The proposed expansion of the Telfer Gold Mine associated with this proposal is being dealt with separately. That mine expansion is set out in a separate referral to the EPA (Newcrest Mining Limited 2002b). The mine expansion and power supply proposals have been separated because it is likely that the mine and power supply will eventually be operated by different proponents. Nevertheless, the proposals have... Read more...Last updated: April 4, 2012
The proposal is to increase the throughput of iron ore to 85 million tonnes per annum at the Cape Lambert Port operations. Read more...Last updated: March 28, 2012
The original proposal, as set out in the proponent’s PER, comprised four iron ore mines in the Pilbara region, an ore beneficiation plant, a borefield, an accommodation village and 160km of east-west railway connecting to the north-south link to Port Hedland. Since release of the PER, FMG has made several major modifications to the proposal: the proposed mines at Mt Lewin and Mt Nicholas have been excised; the connecting infrastructure to those minesites is not now needed, leading to a change...

The proposal is to construct and operate a second port (Port B) at Cape Lambert to process and export up to 130 million tonnes of ore per annum. Read more...Last updated: March 12, 2012
The proposal is for the mining of a 53-hectare area and processing of approximately 1.3 million tonnes of gypsum recovered from Mining Lease 70/1161 using the facilities currently employed for operations in the adjacent Mining Lease 70/750. The proposal involves dredging and will form a permanent hypersaline water body of approximately four metres maximum depth. Dredging operations are proposed to be undertaken every second year over a 2 to 4 week period to excavate approximately 100,000 tonnes... Read more...Last updated: February 28, 2012
The proposal is to construct and operate the Outer Harbour Development which includes landside and marine infrastructure for the handling and export of iron ore from BHPBIO’s operations. The Boodarie stockyard infrastructure will supply an overland conveyor to a transfer pad located to the west of the existing Finucane Island facilities. A piled jetty will transfer ore material to the ship loaders located at the piled wharf. Read more...Last updated: January 17, 2012
The proposal is to construct a sub sea pipeline, onshore gas treatment and compression plant, and sales gas pipeline. The subsea pipeline from the Macedon Gas Field (100 kilometres west of Onslow) connects to the onshore gas treatment and compression plant at Ashburton North (15 kilometres southwest of Onslow). The sales gas pipeline connects the onshore facility to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas (DBNG) Pipeline. Read more...Last updated: January 9, 2012
The proposal consists of a designated mining area containing two open pits, integrated waste and tailings landform, ore beneficiating plant and workshops, a combined gas pipeline spur and water pipe corridor, a services (possible water, gas, power transmission) corridor to Weld Range, the Byro Sub-basin Borefield and the Murchison Palaeochannel Borefield, a power station, airstrip, village and ancillaries. The Jack Hills Expansion Project is contiguous with the Stage 1 mine. Read more...Last updated: November 24, 2011
The proposal is for the construction and operation of a mineral sands mine at Gwindinup, approximately 25 kilometres south-south-east of Bunbury and between two and ten kilometres south of the town of Boyanup. Read more...Last updated: November 22, 2011
The proposal involves the construction and operation of an open pit magnetite mine located approximately 90 kilometres east-north-east of Albany, and pipelines for ore slurry transport and return water, connecting the mine site and new port loading facilities in the Port of Albany. Read more...Last updated: October 24, 2011
The proposal is to develop and operate an open pit nickel mine and associated infrastructure on Mining Lease 77/00583 and haulage road on Mining Lease 77/00545 within the Shire of Kondinin. Read more...Last updated: August 5, 2011
