This new concrete batching plant sat in the Primary Production Zone where this type of development was non-complying – a more complex development assessment process where objectors had rights of appeal.
The voluntary engagement included distributing information flyers, meeting with the local Kanmantoo Callington Community Consultative Committee and working through the Committee’s Master Plan. Premix Concrete also hosted an open day at their existing facility in Salisbury.
The community told us that “it’s great to see people who are so enthusiastic and passionate about their product and with a commitment to achieving best practice standards”.
The EPA was also supportive of the management of environmental impacts, noting that the existing Salisbury plant uses best environmental practice.
The URPS engagement process helped the Council Assessment Panel to unanimously approve the development application and greatly reduced the risk of third party appeals.
