Proposed Abattoir, Aurisch Road, Gingin

The proposal is to build an abattoir on a 650ha rural site at Aurisch Road, Gingin. The site is located at the base of the Darling Scarp approximately 9km north of Gingin, 2km east of the Brand Highway and about 4km from Lakes Beermullah and White, the former being in a System 6 reserve. The proposed abattoir would process 1,000 sheep and 2,000 pigs per five day week. The site has a dwelling and a small piggery and is considered suitable by the Shire of Gingin for this proposal. The area is sparsely populated with the nearest neighbouring dwelling 2km from the site.
