Austeel Pty Ltd proposes to mine iron ore from the George Palmer Orebody on a pastoral lease about 25km south of Cape Preston. Ore will be fed to a purpose-built process plant to produce up to 13.8 million tonnes per annum of pellet iron and 4.7 million tonnes per annum of direct reduced iron (DRI) and/or hot briquetted iron (HBI). The products will be exported via a new port to be built at Cape Preston and Preston Island. Associated components comprise waste dumps, tailings storage facility, onsite accommodation for 420 (with up to 550 at Karratha), a 25km long transport corridor and a causeway from the mainland to the port off Preston Island. This report provides the Environmental Protection Authority's (EPA's) advice and recommendations to the Minister for the Environment and Heritage on the environmental factors relevant to the proposal.
