Submissions closed on Friday 25 January 2019 for Draft State Planning Policy 2.4 - Basic raw materials.

The objectives of this policy are to:

  • identify the location and extent of known basic raw material resources
  • protect priority resource locations, key extraction areas and extraction areas from being developed for incompatible land uses which could limit future exploitation
  • ensure that the use and development of land for the extraction of basic raw materials does not adversely affect the environment or amenity in the locality of the operation during or after extraction
  • provide a consistent planning approval process for extractive industry proposals including the early consideration of sequential land uses.
