The proposal is to place sand (surcharge) to a height of 4.5 metres along a 1.9 kilometre length of the Mitchell Freeway adjacent to Lake Monger. The sand is to be piled to consolidate peat and an old sanitary landfill site for works associated with the widening of the Mitchell Freeway and the provision of a median strip for the proposed Northern Suburbs Rail Link. Because of the presence of peat and sanitary landfill, the ground is relatively spongy and would create an unsuitable base for the... Read more...Last updated: October 25, 1990
On 9 June, 1989, the Environmental Protection Authority received a referral from the Department of Mines of a mining lease application (MLA 70/473) by Magic Soil Ply Ltd. The mining lease application is to supersede a prospecting licence application (PLA 70/807) over the same area and is for a proposal to mine diatomaceous earth from the north·western corner of the lake bed. The referral was held pending clarification of the Government's Policy on Exploration and Mining in Conservation... Read more...Last updated: October 3, 1990
The Water Authority has stated that following the completion of the Pinjar groundwater development, a new major water supply source will be required by 1992. This reasoning is based on current and predicted water consumption demand even in view of the Water Authority's public water conservation programme. Because of the extent, magnitude and likely environmental implications of developing a new water supply source, the EPA required the Water Authority to prepare an ERMP for this project....

The proposed turf farm is located within the catchment of the Peel-Harvey estuarine system, and is within the Jandakot Underground Water Pollution Control Area and Public Water Supply Area and is also in close proximity to Lake Banjup. The soils are of the Jandakot series of the Bassendean Association and have almost no ability to retain applied phosphorus or nitrogen. The proposal is for the growth of couch grass (, Cynodon dactylon, ) in the form of turf in a readily accessible area south of... Read more...Last updated: September 19, 1990
The proposal is to develop a fuel unloading, storage and dispatching facility at the corner of Barter and Leath roads, Kwinana. The elements of the proposal are: install a 450mm (18 inch) fuel import line from the Bulk Cargo Jetty to the site construct refined oil tanks (two of 11,000 cubic metres for ULP and two of 3000 cubic metres for diesel) construct three small tanks for short term storage of each product install road tanker loading unit construct a small office and gate house Read more...Last updated: September 19, 1990
The proposal is to establish a Research and Development Facility at Kwinana to prove the feasibility of a direct iron ore smelting process capable of producing commercially saleable iron product. The iron would ultimately be used as feed material for the production of steel products. Hlsmelt Corporation Pty Ltd is a joint venture between CRA Limited and the Midrex Corporation of USA, which has been formed to manage the project. The research facility will be constructed within the boundaries of... Read more...Last updated: August 1, 1990
The land proposed for residential development comprises Pt Location 1699 owned by Glen Retreat having an area of approximately 46 ha. An area of 4 ha will be excluded and developed for the new Mundaring Primary School, while an equivalent area is to be excised from an adjoining reserve and added to the residential development. The land is located on the Darling Plateau in the catchment of Jane Brook and Bugle Tree Creek. The soils vary from sandy gravels in the lower areas to gravelly sand with...

The proposal is to redevelop the existing Victoria Reservoir on Munday Brook, approximately 20 kilometres east of Perth. This is considered necessary by the Water Authority of Western Australia due to the age and condition of the existing dam, and timely in view of the current residential and rural development pressures being placed on the associated water catchments. Redevelopment of the Victoria Reservoir would involve the creation of a new larger dam to replace the existing structure to gain... Read more...Last updated: July 13, 1990
The proposal, by the Water Authority of Western Australia, consists of a preferred option of constructing a 1420 mm diameter pipeline from the Water Authority of Western Australia's property adjacent to the Ocean Reef Boat Harbour, out to sea for a distance of 1800 m. This proposal will increase the capacity to dispose of treated wastewater from the current level of 54 Megalitres per day (ML/day) to a maximum of 150 ML/day.

The proposal is a revised plan to drain land in South Jandakot east of Thomsons Lake to enable housing development to proceed. Preparation of an acceptable drainage management plan was a condition of approval for housing development in South Jandakot issued by the Minister for the Environment in 1988 ( Ministerial Statement 45 ). In May 1989 the Environmental Protection Authority reported on a previous drainage management plan, concluding that the acceptability of the plan had not been...

The proposal is to rehabilitate the land previously used by the State Engineering Works in North Fremantle. The proposed clean up procedure includes removal of waste material from the site to a gazetted landfill at Henderson in the City of Cockburn, and relocation of leachate spoiled sand on site. Sand whose metal ion content is higher than normal due to leaching of the ions from the waste material, will be relocated on-site above a 12 metre thick limestone base. The site will then be covered... Read more...Last updated: March 8, 1990
Alcoa of Australia Pty Ltd has been operating the Wagerup Refinery (Stage 1) near Waroona (100 km south of Perth) since 1984, under the Alumina Refinery (Wagerup) Agreement and Acts Amendment No 15 of 1978. This agreement covers a production capacity up to 2 mtpa (million tonnes per annum). Initially the refinery produced about 670,000 tpa, but fine tuning of the plant (currently under way) is expected to lift its capacity to 840,000 tpa of alumina. The expansion proposal referred to in this... Read more...Last updated: February 19, 1990
The Health Department acting under instructions from the Cabinet Committee on Metropolitan Waste, has proposed a non-hazardous industrial liquid waste treatment plant at Forrestdale on the existing Metropolitan Septage Treatment Plant site. The facility will treat this liquid waste and discharge the treated effluent to sewer. This will obviate the current method of disposal which is to discharge it to the City of Gosnells landfill site on Kelvin Road in Orange Grove. The Ctty of Gosnells gave...
