Proposal to extending the mine to the East will see the quarry operating in our area for another 100+ years. Public Consultation on Extension The Department of Mines have advertised the change in operation from the 15th May 2019 on their website (see link), in Newspapers and leaflets in local's letter boxes asking for submissions . Two Drop in sessions were organised by Boral on 23 May @ Marino Community Hall. If approved the expanded Quarry (Mine) will be operating in our area for another 100+ years, so now is the chance to make sure the approvals include strict conditions to manage the mine with the least impact on the local environment and our health. This is particularly important as the population is likely to double over the next 10-15 years with the Cement Hill development!!

In the latest they discuss the proposals for extending the mine to the East. Boral plans community update They've made some great progress on plans to secure the Boral Linwood Quarry as a long-term source of building and construction materials supporting Adelaide’s growth and development. We attended the information session on the night of the 25th July. It was a well run and presented session, it was most informative. It really gave us a sense of how massive this undertaking is ..... 180 years!!! We acknowledge the efforts Boral have made over the last few years to make this complex juxtaposition work as well as it does, there can be very few examples of "mines" so close to residential areas.
