Project number 3045/5
Project name

Galaxy Resources propose to clear up to 15 hectares of remnant native vegetation on cleared agricultural land, located approximately 1 kilometre north-west of Ravensthorpe (GIS Database). The application area totals approximately 480 hectares.

The proposed clearing will allow Galaxy Resources to commence mining operations (colloquially termed the Ravensthorpe Spodumene Project). The project will involve establishing an open cut pit and constructing associated infrastructure including a tailings storage facility, waste dump, processing plant, access roads and stockpile areas (Keith Lindbeck and Associates, 2009). Vegetation will be cleared via mechanical means and vegetation and topsoil will be stockpiled separately for use in rehabilitation works (Keith Lindbeck and Associates, 2009).
