The Quarry threat...

"The prospect of quarrying and construction of associated infrastructure at Mt. Crosby, remains a significant threat to our lifestyle and the environment".

• Has potential to be the largest quarry development in Queensland
• Four landholders owning 1000 ha. designated for quarrying
• Infrasructure would include crushing plant and dedicated haul route
• Potential volume of 1400 trucks per day (per PB report *)

Residents of Mt. Crosby and adjacent areas enjoy a quiet semirural lifestyle, a lifestyle which could be shattered by large scale industrialisation in the form of likely quarry development. Threats include:

• Adverse impact on the semirural character and visual appeal of the area
• Loss of existing peace and quiet of the area
• Adverse impact on the environment, and introduction of dust and pollution
• Adverse impact on property values
• Possible lack of timely compensation for property owners directly affected by the quarry and haul route

* Note: The PB report analyses 714 full trucks per day at maximum quarry capacity of 5 million tons p.a., therefore we assume double this number to allow for returning empty trucks.
