Hanson - White Rock Quarry
The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) and the Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) work as co-regulators of the White Rock Quarry, operated by Hanson Construction Materials Pty Ltd (Hanson). The approach of co-regulation is to ensure that environmental requirements are met and the regulation of Hanson is efficient and without unnecessary duplication.
The EPA provides scientific assessment and regulatory advice to DEM to assist its regulation of the site and ensure the EPA’s regulatory requirements are incorporated.
Hanson must achieve the compliance objectives and criteria of its mine operations plan (MOP), which is regulated by DEM under the Mining Act 1971.
Hanson’s MOP for Private Mine 188 (White Rock Quarry) was approved by the Director of Mines, in accordance with section 73G(11) of the Mining Act 1971, on 5 September 2024.
