The proposal is for a brick and tile plant at Malaga, approximately 12 km north-north-east of Perth, to produce 50 million bricks per year.
The site is surrounded to the south and east by industrial, or proposed industrial, land. To the north is the proposed extension to the Ballajura residential estate and to the west a Parks and Recreation Reserve which backs on to the Koondoola residential area. The distance from the plant to the closest residential area would be over 600 metres.
