The proposal is to excavate clay on Lot 6 Almeria Parade, Upper Swan, west of Great Northern Highway and Ellen Brook Nature Reserve, and about 14km north of Midland.
The deposit of highly plastic clay occurs as a shallow clay pan which would be excavated and rehabilitated to a series of interconnecting dams within a three-year period. The clay would be mined in the dry season and carted to Midland for making bricks.
