Irwin Environmental has been engaged to support the recommencement and modification of operations at Barina Quarry. Our role has been multi-faceted including:

• engagement with the NSW Department of Housing, Planning and Infrastructure, local Councils and other government regulators
• scoping and management of specialist environmental studies such as biodiversity, cultural heritage, noise, air quality, water and traffic, and
• preparation of a Scoping Report and Modification Report to support the application

Irwin Environmental is also supporting Collector Resources with the following environmental requirements relevant to the proposed recommencement of operations:

• preparation of updated environmental management documentation
• preparation of an Independent Environmntal Audit
• environmental monitoring and annual reporting
• negotiation of a Voluntary Planning Agreement with the local Council’s, and
• collation of materials to support an application for mining lease.

The project focused on aligning operational changes with best practice environmental management and securing ongoing approval pathways.
