Help stop this destruction of our geological heritage.
Mt
Elephant,
landmark, National and International tourist attraction of the Western District of Victoria,
and the gateway to the KANAWINKA Global Geopark,
is under attack from yet another
Quarry.
On the 25th August 2009 Corangamite Shire Council passed a Planning Permit to allow the opening of a new Quarry on the boundary
of Mt Elephant.
The planning permit allows
for the existing unused Shire quarry to be used as a platform to start a new
quarry on the NW boundary of the Mount, even though the Mount and Shire Quarry
is covered by a Shire designated Significant Landscape Overlay (SLO)
This ruling by the
Corangamite Shire is now the subject of a Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal
(VCAT) appeal.
