I am located on the transport link where truck will be travelling on, the main issue for me is the noise impact of the empty trucks prior to filling with gravel ect, I can not understand why they can not place dampeners on the tailgates for these vehicles they are extremely noisy when empty. Also the congestion on Paterson Road through Bolwarra is now at the point where you have to wait long lengths of time to enter from side roads. |

ALL residents of the two valleys for 50 kms above Paterson and 30 kms below are affected by the traffic issues .Residents travel to Maitland and Newcastle for many purposes. The small dogleg in Paterson township has an intersection very close to it. where the street from the railway station and a hotel comes onto the main road. It is a blind corner to the south., so only left turn is permitted.(right turn would be just suicidal) One wit a few years ago even painted the words "Russian Roulette " on the road surface there.to remind motorists. There is some risk in venturing out. The sudden appearance of an unloaded truck moving at any speed would be the loaded bullet that would be catastrophic , wiping out a car and its occupants very easily. I am sure there are many other road safety issues and dangers to the proposal that won't be obvious or really considered. The constant passage of numerous large modern trucks through the heart of Paterson on a road layout inherited from the horse and convict days is really totally contrary to everything the village is and the safety of people there. |

Dear whomever, I am demanding protection for the remaining kolala bears to clear their habitats are unthinkable and cruel and evil by doing that many kolala bears will get killed trying to cross the busy traffic by speeding cars. I am demanding that you protect our endangered kolala bears now its so sad it's frustrating. Concerned Citizen, Ji Montgomery |

Our property is located on Butterwick Road - I am tremendously concerned about the volume of trucks. Is it possible to understand how many trucks currently travel on Butterwick Road and also how many that will travel with the new plans? We already feel intimidated by the speed they are travelling - it's scary as a motorist with two young children in the car and we don't feel safe entering and exiting our own driveway - the current trucks fly along the road and could not possibly stop if they weren't paying attention. Something as simple as taking the kids to school or crossing the road to take the bins out should not be hazardous. The roads are also narrow and damaged - I see many cyclists, how will they be kept safe? While I am not opposed the mine expansion, I'm terrified about something happening to my daughters, or another family, and need to understand how we as residents will be protected - warning signs near our driveway, reduced speed limit, wider/smoother roads? Looking forward to your feedback, Nikki |

Daracon is a leader in the construction material industry with a history of commitment to businesses across the Hunter region. With community-based values, they produce local long-term jobs, and create many positive impacts though out our community. We strongly believe Daracon would be committed to the management and environmental protection that impacts this community and the larger greater community. As the Hunter region continues to grow, so too does the rock recourses in our areas. In the Construction industry it is becoming harder and harder to source not just a quality material but any quarry materials. If Martins Creek can’t produce this material, then where will it be derived from? Construction materials play a vital role in delivering the infrastructure required to support our population and economic growth not only in the hunter but all of NSW. Daracon has always produced good quality material for our business, they are consistent and always reliable. Without a quarry like Martins Creek, we will struggle to secure hard rock materials to provide for the increase in growth, through many areas of infrastructure and local sustainability. With our company being one of the largest raw materials suppliers in the hunter, over the past two years our ability to source quarry rock has diminished significantly, now to the point where all three of our retail outlets have 80% of our aggregate bays standing empty, and we are on extensive waiting lists with almost every local quarry in an ongoing attempt to get material to restock. This also heavily impacts our ability supply trade quantities to our client base spread across the Hunter working on projects of all sizes. This product shortage is having a significant financial impact on our business, as an entire product line is now not accessible due to the increasingly high demand of construction materials, and the very low supply capability of the local quarries. We believe the approval of Martins Creek will greatly benefit the community as a whole, and help ease this supply issue and will go a long way towards assisting the already struggling market. |

I believe the submission should be approved. We cannot continue to sterilise vital resources such as this. People like nice paved roads, concrete driveways/house slabs and work in offices made of concrete. Where do they think the raw materials to pave roads, make concrete etc come from. This quarry has been operating for over 100 years and is a key employer in the area. Most of the complaints seem to stem from areas which are controlled by the quarry's EPA licence (blasting, noise etc). These issues are not new but the quarry seems to be managing them within the conditions of the licence. |

If the quarry goes ahead it will make more jobs for the people and will bring money to the community. We all need new roads and railways which is built with rocks. |

Whenever there is development proposed, grass roots campaigns are very effective in generating many submissions. In this case, a well organised campaign will generate many submissions, however most if not all will be against the development. This very campaign has prompted this submission, not against the development but for it. A bit of balance without any emotive influence. Every one of us, including all who submit a submission against this project, benefit from the products developed. We drive on roads built from quarry products and our food/fuel is delivered on them. What we sell leaves on them. We live in houses and work/school in buildings built on quarry products. Yes there are problems with a quarry as with any development but I believe these to be fairly addressed. All of us have to contribute in some way to society and I guess “the greater good”. If NIMBY got up everywhere I’d imagine many folk would be both hungry and suffering the effects of uncomfortable weather conditions in living. As a point of perspective, I live under the flight path of a harbour pilot helicopter, in clouds of coal dust, serenaded by ships horns at all hours. I’m in a red zone for potential cyanide gas escape plumes and close enough to stores of enough Ammonium Nitrate that if they went up, I’d be in pieces. But I don’t mind, as this is part of living in a modern world and a small contribution that I can make. I thereby, support the development of the Martins Creek Quarry. |

Independent Planning Commission NSW Mining and Resources Martins Creek Quarry Dear Independent Planning Commission NSW, I write to you in support of the proposed Martins Creek Quarry Project. The Transport Workers Union NSW Branch (TWU-NSW) represents transport workers employed by Daracon in connection with the company's construction materials, haulage, and civil construction business. The TWU also represents truck drivers employed by many Daracon customers, suppliers, and sub-contractors. The Martins Creek quarry supports local jobs for employed and owner-operator truck drivers engaged in transportation of quarried materials and related value-added products (such as aggregates, sand, concrete, road base, fly ash, cement and water) essential for building infrastructure to meet the needs of our community. The quarry also supports jobs for transport workers engaged in haulage of mobile plant and equipment utilised in quarrying, crushing, materials processing, and civil construction. Daracon employs over 850 workers across an integrated construction materials and civil engineering business. Material transported by road from Martins Creek is used by Daracon and other firms for infrastructure projects in the Hunter Region, including: roads, rail, water infrastructure, community space, development of employment lands, and new land release for residential housing. These projects support many workers and small businesses in the transport sector, including Daracon's directly-employed transport workers. Should the Commission need any further information, please contact our office. Yours faithfully Mick Forbes TWU – Newcastle & Northern NSW, sub-branch secretary |

Martins Creek Quarry has been operating for more than 100 years so even though it went outside its boundaries while still owned by the state government Daracon should not have been penalised by short sited narrow minded locals all whom have benefitted from the quarry in the construction of their homes. The EPA has lost its direction its purpose is not to stop development but to ALLOW progress in an environmentally sustainably way and as the quarry was operating they have failed miserably. Since the closure of Martins Creek there has been enormous pressure put on the surrounding Quarries which has led to shortage of materials across the local areas forcing delays in all projects and forcing up prices adding to inflation. What a stuff up by EPA. The roads are meant to be used they have always carried trucks and this closure was a typical event where locals don't like an industry lobby to have it closed and governments fold, it is pathetic and cost my transport business in excess of $150,000.00 and 2 Jobs |

As a person working in the construction, building and infrastructure industry, I would like to lend my support to this proposed development. The construction industry at present is starved of available quarry materials in the wider Hunter Region. The existing range of raw materials suppliers is limited, and their capacities to serve the significant number, and size of infrastructure and construction projects at the moment is at capacity. Many projects in the Upper, lower Hunter and greater Newcastle area, extending into the Mid North Coast, and Central Coast regions are falling behind in their programs, simply due to the over demand in the market, compared to the consent capped capacity of suppliers that are available. Martins Creek Quarry, will be an essential services provider, that is desperately needed in the region to allow current and planned projects to actually be finalised and completed. |

I am in favour of the expansion to a degree , I don’t think it needs to expand to the volume suggested but some expassion is necessary for The workers, other construction areas requiring the resources and the economy. Too many extra trucks will have a negative impact on he already compromised roads, so infrastructure in this area would need funding and regular maintenance. A quarry is needed somewhere, so one that is already in use is the best option to expand rather than having to start elsewhere. |

I work in the construction industry and I support the expansion of Martins Creek quarry. We need quarry products in the industry to build roads and other infrastructure and while there will be an impact to the local community of the expansion I believe that the mitigation measures described in the reports will minimise these impacts. |

I am a worker in the industry, and the Martins Creek Quarry is a major supplier of material for civil projects in the region. There is already a shortage of materials in the industry caused by extreme weather events which have added to the impact of covid and the quarry expansion is necessary to provide materials to projects that are already delayed, causing companies to go out of business. This is an important and needed change |

Loss of jobs if it doesn't go ahead, not just quarry jobs. The amount of road works/ subdivisions, housing, they all need quarry materials - high waiting times to try and source other quarry material, is getting harder. Even local businesses will suffer and small towns don't need that. |

The approval of Martin’s Creek Quarry to reopen is critical on local construction. In a time where material shortage is impacting daily operations it is critical that this quarry is operational to support local civil and rail projects. As a manager working in the Hunter Valley it has affected our business tremendously since it’s closure. |

I have lived near the quarry for over 10 years. It was never a an issue when I purchased my property . This quarry was running well before any of us moved here and people have forgotten this. People want to move here and houses sell quickly. Also with the amount of recent sub divisions going on it’s the new houses and extra cars and on the road that has spoilt the quiet community they are talking about. The trucks were always a part of the community. I do understand that people are concerned about extra trucks and with taking a lot more by rail will address this. Also upgrades on the road intersections will help. The roads the trucks will travel are pretty good bar a few sections which will hopefully be fixed. My kids have all learnt to drive here and I was glad they had trucks to learn around. Made them much better drivers. Yes we have had some bad truck drivers at times and I believe this is now addressed very quickly and not tolerated. I also believe that the early arrival of trucks through the towns was unfair on a lot of people and with the new measures proposed for morning time should work better for all. The benefits from the quarry far outweigh the impact it has on this community as most all have moved here while it has been running and still decided to come here knowing the quarry was here. |

Martins Creek quarry needs to be approved to provide high quality construction materials to many regional infrastructure projects. Martins Creek is vital to assist with the provision of aggregates and roadbases to support the construction of local roads and bridges that are currently in short supply. |

We fully support The Martins Creek Quarry, we have a long standing working relationship with Daracon and with previous experience dealing with them, we feel the impact to the local community will be minimal. We see the Quarry is an important part of the future growth in the community, it is important for local job growth and opportunity and the quarry will play a major part in the supply of building supplies to support the local building sector and infrastructure projects. |

The necessity of a well run, functioning hard rock quarry to any community is well established. Not one Govt building, home, business, road, bridge, airport or sports-field would have been built without the contribution from quarries supplying construction aggregates. Many of the objectors to this development will be residing in, working at, driving on or playing on one of these structures that have been underwritten by the quarrying industry for many of their foundation or construction materials. My family have no commercial or financial links to Daracon but I do speak as someone who is involved in this industry. An undertaking such as this requires a substantial commitment to employing and training local people to operate the quarry, supplying & maintaining plant and the overall financing the operation. A lot of this financial input has direct impacts for local employment and for other local businesses such fuel suppliers, conveyor belt suppliers, engineering companies, tyre suppliers, surveyors, PPE suppliers etc that are supplying support services to the quarry. A necessary part of any commercial undertaking is the transport of goods to and/or from the business. Any person who seeks to limit the transport activities unnecessarily of a commercial undertaking such as this should take time to consider how materials got to the construction site of their home or how the roads got built that they now drive on. No active quarry is a particularly visually attractive site however the reality is that any quarry is also a construction site. Anyone who has viewed a construction site of any magnitude realises that it is not until construction is completed, that the site takes on visual amenity. For a quarry, this period could be as long as 20 years due to the nature of the business. Rehabilitation requirements now means that quarries have to be be returned to a state that either benefits the community or the environment and there are many existing examples such as quarries that have been successfully rehabilitated as amphitheaters in many parts of the world, including Perth , Adelaide, Shepparton and in Victoria’s Grampians National Park, where they have become popular performance and festival sites. I strongly support Daracon's proposal in relation to Martin's Creek and would encourage the IPC to endorse their proposal. |

I support the quarry to assist with urgent and ongoing repairs required in my local area. There are a number of other quarries near my house and I moved into the area knowing that fact. We accept that as a daily part of life, knowing that the region is benefiting from the quarry materials that are sourced locally. |

In my opinion the quarry is a viable source of product for which both state & local governments require to maintain and build much needed infrastructure to roads and new suburbs which are increasing rapidly. It will also employ and re-employ people who lost their jobs due to the closure. In short it needs to reopen as soon as possible. |

I support Martin's Creek quarry because you cannot build or repair roads without good quality construction materials, which are difficult to obtain due to the large amount of infrastructure projects occurring now and in the future. It will also support meaningful and sustainable employment for many local people. |

Ongoing road maintenance in my local area is a big issue that needs to be resolved. Martins Creek quarry could assist with the provision of quality road construction materials to assist all local Council's to undertake urgent repairs. Due to current shortages of good quality road construction materials, without Martins Creek, the cost is likely to be more, potentially leading to increases in Council rates and other ongoing costs. |

Precision Drill and Blast has worked closely with the Daracon Group for over ten years and fully support the conditional approval of this proposed development. We have been responsible for servicing the drilling and blasting requirements of their Martins Creek site. As a locally owned family business, we see the employment opportunities generated at this one site as follows; * We will require at least two full time positions and two casual staff on top of our normal work force - drillers, blast crew, blast technicians for example. (All local residents) * The contractors we engage to deliver raw materials to site would account for 5 crew for 10 hours every two weeks and their flow on administration work on top. (Hunter based companies with employees living locally) * Mechanical, hose fitting and welding trades are utilised in a mix at least 5-10 hours per week to maintain and repair machinery. (Local Buisinesses) Other financial input into local community from our operations; *Fuel purchased at local service stations *Food and coffee that drives our work force daily - purchased locally *Spare parts and back up products purchased from local businesses *Light vehicle servicing *Oil and consumables purchased from local business From our position as contractors to the quarry operation, we believe the proposed development application will provide employment opportunity and socioeconomic gain to the townships and the members of our direct and indirect work force required to provide our services to Daracon. |

I am writing in support of the re-opening of the Martins Creek Quarry on behalf of the Stevens Group of Companies. The Stevens Group are developers operating throughout New South Wales to deliver a wide range of projects, ranging from Industrial land subdivisions through to major tourism projects. We are currently involved in delivering approximately 5000 residential allotments to meet housing demand and 500 large scale industrial allotments to provide employment opportunities in the Hunter region. Quarry supply is essential to meet construction demand. There is no certainty around the quarry supply in the Greater Hunter Region where the bulk of our residential and industrial lands are located. Martins Creek Quarry, if permitted to re-open, would again be able to contribute to the supply of the construction materials essential to the delivery of land for housing and employment. This quarry has historically supplied the majority of quarry materials for Daracon projects in the Lower Hunter. With current supply chain issues, it is essential that quality construction materials can be sourced locally. As the proposal involves only 500kt per annum maximum of material coming out by road, it will not completely address the shortage, however, it will greatly assist. It is our understanding that the new proposal will reduce localised issues with any quarry operation and we urge the decision makers to support the proposal. |

I am in support of Martins Creek Quarry. I work in the construction industry, specifically sourcing materials for civil construction projects. I respect nature and the rights of people in our communities, however, I am also a realist who appreciates the roads I drive on, the concrete piers that hold my house up and the sewer systems connected to my house. I liaise with all the quarries in the area, and the extended area from Tamworth to Nowra, all of whom are struggling to keep up with demand as it is becoming increasingly difficult to find materials to build projects. There are simply not enough quarries to cope with the industry demands state wide. If Martin’s Creek Quarry isn’t an appropriate location for a state significant development, then where is the industry going to get the high quality rock to supply the immediate major projects that are likely to start in 2023, in addition to the ongoing supply or councils, subdivisions, concrete plants and asphalt plants. With the long term forecast of infrastructure projects in the regions, Martin’s Creek quarry is essential. There is a misunderstanding within the community that all the trucks coming through Paterson and surrounds are going or coming from Martins Creek quarry. Dungog council conduct road works sourcing the material from quarries located at Allendale/Brandy Hill/Seaham/Karuah and most of the trucks come through Paterson. If Martins Creek quarry was open, the trucks going through Paterson would’ve been significantly reduced. The Mayor of Dungog has publicly stated that there is not enough construction materials to fix the roads in Dungog Shire. If approved, Martin’s Creek quarry could supply this material efficiently and cost effectively. |

Dear Independent Planning Commission NSW, I write to you in support of the proposed expansion of the Project. The Australian Workers' Union (AWU) is the trade union that represents workers employed by the Daracon Group's construction materials and civil construction businesses. This includes the work performed at the Martins Creek Quarry. For over 20 years, the Daracon Group's integrated civil engineering and construction materials business has provided direct and indirect employment opportunities in the Hunter Region to thousands of men and women. The material extracted at the Martins Creek Quarry has been used by Daracon and other firms to help build infrastructure projects in the Hunter Region, including roads, rail, water infrastructure, community space and new release land for residential housing. The expansion of the Project will further support local jobs in construction projects and, in the longer term, support ongoing economic growth within surrounding communities and across the Hunter Region through improved amenities and the built environment. The AWU supports the proposed expansion of the Martins Creek Quarry Project and believes the approval will have positive and lasting employment and economic effects on the surrounding area. The approval of the expansion is essential to provide job security to AWU members and improve career progression opportunities within the local area. The AWU looks forward to working with Daracon and other stakeholders to help ensure a productive, safe and environmentally sustainable workplace at the Martins Creek Quarry. Should the Commission need any further information, please contact our office on⬛⬛⬛⬛ . Yours faithfully, Tony Callinan AWU NSW Branch Secretary (Typed by Mr Decheng Sun, AWU Legal Officer, with Mr Callinan's approval) |

We refer to Daracons application before the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) in relation to Martins Creek Quarry Expansion. Fulton Hogan submits this letter in support of the project. Fulton Hogan have utilised quarry materials from Martins Creek in various forms for many years, it has been one of the important quarries in the area to provide high quality construction materials to the industry. Martins Creek is one of four quarries in the region that have the required material properties to comply with TfNSW specifications for both asphalt and spray seal aggregates. Furthermore, Martins Creek Quarry manufacture high quality road base materials such as R73 heavily bound that is widely used in the construction of pavements in compliance with TfNSW specifications. Over the next 6 years the Hunter Region will see several major road infrastructure projects completed that will include; o Newcastle Inner City Bypass (Rankin Park to Jesmond) o Hexham Straight o M1 to Raymond Terrace Extension (North and South) o Singleton Bypass o Muswellbrook Bypass It is worth noting that these projects will consume circa 500,000 tonnes of asphalt and large quantities of spray sealing aggregate. These projects will be delivered in addition to business as usual volumes that are currently supplied into the market for local and state government projects, subdivisions and other smaller projects in the area. In addition to the increased aggregate demand, these projects will require significant quantities of road base and engineered fill materials placing further strain on current quarry capacity and consent limits. Fulton Hogan operate asphalt productions facilities, asphalt laying crews, spray seal crews and civil businesses in the Hunter Region and all of these businesses have been affected by quarry material shortages in recent times. Supply shortage issues are evident without the significant uplift that will be required by these large projects. The Amended Development proposed by Daracon has the potential to help alleviate concerns over the regions ability to meet future construction demands required to meet a growing population in the Hunter Region. |

This quarry is essential for jobs and infrastructure. The government has pushed to stimulate the economy through construction. Without quarries we don't have construction. No road repairs or new roads, no houses, footpaths, cycle ways and shopping centres. All infrastructure in our world revolves around construction materials. |

* We support the proposed development because Martins Creek Quarry has long been a valued supplier of materials to address the needs of the local and wider communities. * We are a local excavation business and have been operating out of Torryburn/Lewinsbrook since 2010. * We have found with the current climate especially, there has been an unusually large demand in the local area for gravel materials to maintain driving surfaces on all properties with tarred and untarred roads, as well as the need for gravel products for water and waste storage facilities and general building requirements. * With the other more distant quarries which are currently operating there is usually a backlog of orders which is in turn severely negatively affecting the available supply to us. * In the past our business has been a frequent customer of Martins Creek Quarry because we were able to use their quality products to satisfy customers' needs in an efficient and timely fashion. * Our business understands the affect which the road transport industry has on the amenity of the area local to Martins Creek Quarry, and we support the current hours of operation proposals. * It was interesting to us that immediately prior to the closing of the Quarry there was a high demand from residents affected by trucking noise from the Quarry to supply them with gravel for their driveways and other needs, which we feel shows that there is a need for the supply of quarry materials in order to maintain the current standard of living required by most people these days, and the NIMBY (Not In My Backyard) approach is a contradiction in values. |

I have worked as a sub contractor for Daracon at Martins Creek Quarry since 2016 and directly for them since 2021, also a Local This Quarry should be approved for the locals, creating jobs and infrastructure for the community. If i wasn't working at Martins Creek id have to travel, taking time away from my family. There just isn't enough local jobs especially with taking away the 20+ immediate jobs the Quarry allows for, let alone the flow on effect to the rest of the community, small businesses. In my 20 years experience as a tradesman Daracon has been by far the best company i have worked for, despite its size it still has small family business values. Its employees always come first. I see nothing in the proposed development that isn't reasonable, greatly reduced from the original consent. They have gone beyond to try and please the community and from my dealing with the community they have. |

The current supply demands on quarry products/materials is causing flow on effects with the capability to complete and deliver these projects within the nominated time frames and in line with budget pricing, which in turn, flows onto the purchasers of the future Lots who are aiming to own and build their future homes. |

As a major manufacturer of high quality precast, prestressed concrete bridge girders, bridge planks, piles and other precast concrete elements for NSW civil infrastructure projects, SCI has become increasingly concerned about the every increasing shortages of quality quarry products for the production of high grade concrete. Because of their critical nature of their use the above mentioned precast concrete components are manufactured under stringent specification requirements designed to ensure that the components enjoy in excess of 100+ years life in the structure while at the same time being maintenance free. Through knowledge of the petrographic properties of the Martins creek quarry materials and through previous experience in using the materials, it is seen as imperative that the quarry be further developed in order to augment the supply of quality quarry products necessary to meet current and future demand. Because SCI manufactures precast prestressed bridge components for projects throughout NSW, access to Martins creek quarry products for the production of very high quality concrete will benefit the economies of regional NSW far distant from the quarry itself. Access to supply of high quality quarry product for the State's infrastructure improvement program is as important as is the supply of gas and electricity for business and domestic use. The importance to the State of NSW of the expansion of the Martins Creek Quarry is of the highest order and accordingly, SCI unreservedly offers its strongest support. |

I am in support of the conditional approval of this application. It is clear that in the second iteration of the approval the Daracon Group have listened to the local community by proposing significant reductions in total production, total vehicle movements by the road, operating and delivery hours. As a user of construction materials it is getting almost impossible to source quality gravel in a timely manner. A quarry that can supply quality material that is not owned by a major in the industry such as Boral or Hanson will add much needed competition to a floundering market. The Daracon Group are a company where the ongoing success of the business means that they will continue to employ local people and support other local businesses. |

Whilst i work in the construction industry, developments like this offer increased certainty for the regional construction Industry along with ongoing employment. With the upcoming large scale infrastructure projects commencing and growth of the region continuing, resource materials are at a premium. Developments such as this are required to continue the growth and maintain the current infrastructure. Suitable construction materials resource locations are not easily found or developed and cost considerable amount of capital investment, so where existing developments can be expanded within the consent guidelines they should be prioritized. |

I support the proposed development as working in the construction industry, I understand and appreciate the importance of high-quality hard rock quarry products and the required demand of these products in the construction of infrastructure projects With many large-scale road projects and local developments set to commence and continue in the next 10 years within the Newcastle and Hunter region, it will be of critical importance to be able to supply quarry products to these projects. With having a local quarry producer, this creates environmental benefits as truck haulage times are reduced which has a lower carbon emission impact in comparison to using other non-local quarries, social benefits of supporting local jobs and financial benefits of reducing the cost of infrastructure projects saving rate and taxpayers money. |

- I 100% suppport the Martins Creek quarry - This quarry provides material for our local community, in which i live. - The quarry and operating business has employed local people and supported the local communities for many years. - I understand the concerns of some of the communitiy around noise and the local flora and fauna, but i back the business which will carry out the work at the quarry to make the community and the local flora and fauna its #1 priority, as they always have. - I personally spoke to truck operator on the radio one day about a section of road that was starting to deteriorate and by the time i had arrived home, a member from the business had called me and explained the plan repair to start there the following week. Made me happy that the business was this invested to follow up with the public and its concerns. - I have seen many locally and government run projects in the maitland/newcastle region and they are always run to the best conditions and following the rules and regulations to complete there work in our communities. |

I have worked with Daracon for the past 4 years after working for a service supplier to Daracon for the 15 years before this. My role at Daracon is to manage the supply of Construction Materials to all of our civil construction projects as well as the sale and supply of materials from our quarries. Over the last two years there has been a significant reduction in the availability of quality hard rock materials, as well all quarry materials in general. Diminishing available resources and soaring demand from residential subdivision and public infrastructure projects has seen many quarries have to introduce daily limits to their sales to try and make the resource spread across many customers. Quarries have started to reach extraction limits, or exhaust quality rock resource, major hard rock quarries as a result have shut sales to the public to only serve their own internal concrete plants. This increase in demand has occurred despite there only being limited major project works in the Hunter Valley at present. With the imminent commencement of the Newcastle Inner City Bypass and the M1 to Raymond Terrace Upgrade (M12RT) I hold grave concerns as to where materials will be able to be sourced from to allow these projects to be completed. As a result of increased demand and reduced availability, materials are being sourced from quarries that are further away from the point of delivery, requiring more trucks to deliver the same amounts, over longer distances, thus increasing congestion, emissions, and costs to tax payers on all public roads. This has created a massive struggle on a daily basis of trying to source adequate volume and quality of materials for civil construction projects not just for ourselves but for many of our major customers such as local councils, rail bodies and local contractors. This added pressure to find materials for projects that are getting scarcer and scarcer has placed significant stress and anxiety to myself and my team members, as we always feel we are only one day away from a project falling over due to lack of supply. If you go and visit any quarry you will see, there are no longer piles and piles available of a variety of road bases, drainage aggregates, ballast, gabion, and scour rocks. There are only concrete aggregates and their byproducts being produced in any volume. Martins Creek Quarry aims to service all of these shortages in the market at present albeit with only a reduced amount. Current demand is outstripping supply that significantly that there is a real risk of inferior projects being built with pieced together pavements, consisting of a variety of quarries materials in one layer with only limited quality assurance being completed as products are being consumed as quickly as they are made. Daracon has taken a number of steps and actions in listening to the needs and wants of the community and has substantially reduced it’s requested extraction amounts, haulage volumes, times and days of operation. Whilst our total yearly limit proposed is significantly less than that of our industry competitors these tonnes will provide important resources to ensure roads, sub-divisions, hospitals, bridges, airports and houses continue to be built. Thank you for taking the time to read my submission, I am happy to discuss any or all of its contents. |

I support the approval of Martins Creek Quarry as outlined in the DPIE assessment report and draft conditions of approval. Martins Creek Quarry provides essential material for the construction industry in the local and regional area. The draft conditions and ADA provide a comprehensive range of mitigation measures for the quarry and its operations. As outlined in the Department’s report, it is noted that there will still be some residual social impacts of the development which will need to be carefully monitored and managed, however on balance and given the quarry is predominantly a brownfields site that has operated in the area for a long time, I support the current amended DA. |

I submit this in support of the Martins Creek Quarry proposal as recommended by the Dept of Planning. I am the partner of someone employed by Daracon. I do not hide this association, unlike some of the persons submitting objections with obvious conflicts of interest. Objections from persons, employed directly by one of the owners of a major quarry in the Karuah region, claiming there are sufficient quarry resources in the region, without Martins Creek being approved, is totally counter to the information provided by the Dept of Planning and also by other civil constructors of infrastructure as found in the reviews undertaken as part of the DA. I am aware of the lengths that Daracon have gone to in order that the issues concerning the community be addressed. Clearly, certain members of the community seek to have the quarry closed. That is their right. Adopting the not in my backyard perspective. However, the quarry, and land disturbance, already exists and has done for decades. To not approve will simply encourage a greenfield development somewhere else. Not to mention the clear waste of a quality resource already established close to markets. Clearly an environmental benefit to the State. I note the residential developments being undertaken in the Dungog Council and the Maitland Council areas. Such developments use the very materials that this resource offers. Transporting these products from further afield makes no logical or environmental sense. Certainly, issues affecting those involved must be considered and addressed. Daracon has already done this in consultation with all parties, as they were required to do by the Regulator of this process. This is a State Significant Resource and the importance should not be lost in the current consideration of submissions. Finally, I personally wish to address the nonsense being spread by certain persons pushing their own agendas regarding Daracon and the owners. I know the owners of Daracon and have personally experienced their genuine consideration and compassion for their employees, employees families and associated persons and the community. They are a family company locally established, not some multinational. Description of them being ruthless for profit are not what the typical Daracon employee would state. Statements such as this by certain others are a comment upon those individuals and their motives. |

I support the project with conditions as put forward by the Department of Planning. The conditions are quite onerous for the output and size of this quarry when compared to others in the state. This is an opportunity for the planning authorities to secure a hard rock resource that has low impact on Flora and Fauna for the future in a region that will continue to grow in the future........it is going to get even harder in years to come to find more suitable hard rock resources that are approvable as it is rare that a quarry is situated on cleared land and the cost of offsetting Vegetation will rule most sites unviable even in the event they are allowed to proceed with clearing. I urge the IPC to approve this project. |

I work as a project engineer on subdivisions and major projects. These project are for the communities in the Hunter Region. My project has been stopped several times this year due to difficulties in getting materials. The current quarries are already struggling to supply the amount of material required for the current projects. With the future projects like Hexham Straights, M1 extension and Jesmond to Rankin Park how will the demand be met? The Government has pushed these projects to be built with no regard for what it takes to build them. |

The approval of Martins Creek Quarry has many benefits and the approval i believe is incredibly important for the construction industry as we move in to a time of increased construction in the area. It will increase the certainty for the regional construction industry as well as increased certainty for ongoing local employment. It increases the certainty for local large scale infrastructure projects as well as the many regional road repairs required after the recent rain and flooding events. We have seen a huge decrease in locally available hard rock quarry material due to closures in recent years and hard rock quarried material is a vital component of all construction phases. Martins Creek Quarry has been providing quarry product for railway construction, maintenance and repair, infrastructure and road construction in the Hunter Region for approximately 100 years. This has provided employment for hundreds of people and contributed to the region and state’s economic growth. Hunter Regional Plan 2036 clearly outlines a growing Hunter population requiring approximately 70,000 additional houses to house the population by 2036. With this will come the need for construction materials that Martins Creek Quarry produces. |

I support Martin's Creek quarry. Daracon has shown they can and will control the trucks through the local areas. To be able to build projects we need gravel for roads, dust for pipes, aggregates for concrete. We can't get materials to build these projects. What is the future plan to source material? If not this quarry then where? I believe martains Creek quarry serves a greater economic value to the Hunter Region that outlays the concerns of the local residents. |

I believe Martin's Creek quarry should be running at full capacity. This quarry supplies high quality materials for roads, hospitals, shopping centres and houses. It is crazy to think in the current boom and forward project that still need to come on line that this quarry is even up for debate. It is essential for the Hunter Region. |

I would support the approval of Martins Creek Quarry. I have lived very close to another of Daracon'a operational quarries for many years and found them to be very cooperative and considerate to the local community. They've also managed the environmental aspects of their operation well and I am certain that would be the case if Martins Creek quarry was approved. |

Martin's Creek quarry offers an opportunity for much need high quality materials to be accessed by the community. With a large amount of infrastructure projects currently underway and more in the planning pipe line access to Martin's Creek will assist with the current supply issues being encountered and promote better competition in the market. In my opinion when carried out the conditions of consent will adequately mitigate the adverse impacts of the development |

We refer to Daracon’s application before the Independent Planning Commission (IPC) in relation to Martins Creek Quarry Expansion (the Project). Business Hunter submits this letter in support for the Project. Business Hunter represents over 4,200 member and affiliate businesses across the Hunter region. Our membership spans virtually business and industry sectors in the region and we have represented the interests of business so since 1886. We recognise that the Martins Creek Quarry has been providing quarry products for railway construction, infrastructure and road construction in the Hunter for over 100 years. The quarry has provided employment for many people over this time and has contributed to the economic growth of both the region and the state. We also note all levels of government have identified infrastructure provision and civil construction as a key priority area in their strategic planning. Furthermore, the level of construction activity related to these plans is at record levels and not foreshadowed to wane for many years. In this context, the quarry will provide the region with continued access to high grade products from a local source to potentially be used for projects in the Hunter region and beyond. This is of significant importance at a time when supply chains of construction materials are stretched and other sources to substitute existing supplies are not readily identified or available. We acknowledge the Project application has attracted significant attention locally and across the region. Business Hunter recognises Daracon’s commitment and efforts to identify and address the community concerns and the actions and measures taken or agreed to seeking to mitigate impacts that will arise from the expanded activity in the event the Project is approved. It is our desire to see the Project is considered in respect of the relevant planning and development controls and the IPC ensures the assessment and determination strike the right balance in terms of dealing with the matters raised in the submissions received. Business Hunter is supportive of the Project in the knowledge of its capacity to not only provide an essential raw material for a wide range on community building and economically important projects across the region, but also its capacity to support business and jobs growth now and well into the future. We would be happy to expand on this submission if required. Yours sincerely Bob Hawes ⬛⬛⬛ |

My job is directly reliant on the materials that come from quarries. I feel very strongly about the quarry being open to support the many jobs that are created, not just at the quarry but all surrounding jobs too, water carts, truck drivers, plant operator project engineer's and manager's, cleaners, food stops and all sorts of mechanics. The local people around the quarry should work with the quarry for development of the town and local businesses. |

Current demand is outstripping supply and production as a result quarries have no material stockpiled. This has implications for a range of issues including downstream impacts such as quality control especially for material going into long term assets such as buildings, bridges and hospitals, there is potential for inferior material to find its way into Concrete and asphalt resulting in reduced durability and longevity of assets. I work in the Construction materials testing industry and at current the huge additional demands being placed on our industry to keep up with testing requirements day to day as there is limited to no material being stockpiled at quarries (Due to such high demand and lack of quality resource) is increasing every day. In the end, a lack of quality control will end up with a lack of quality product going in to the market which has huge cost implications down the line. There is also ever increasing pressure put on staff within my business as the demand for test results is so high as there is limited quarries able to supply high end products. The re-opening of Martin's Creek Quarry would help alleviate these issues. |

The supply situation for civil construction contractors working in the Hunter Region is currently far too limited. Therefore, we strongly support the reopening of the Martins Creek Quarry. This is urgently required to increase supply and sourcing options for contractors to enable projects to be delivered for clients cost effectively and on time. At present the construction industry is under severe materials supply pressure making it very difficult to tender and complete projects with certainty of supply. |

I Geoff Reeves work in the construction industry, and with the closure of quarrys and restrictions sites have to adhere to, sourcing materials for the ever demanding infrastructure within the area is getting harder to find especially when it comes to hard rock which Martins Creek produces. This also puts added pressure on other sites to meet customer demands due to shortage of suppliers. The cost involved to get hard rock to some of these sites are astronomical due to the distance of having to transport the same materials from other sites outside of the working area. Martins Creek also employs numerous people with assorted qualifications and contract trades persons within the local area. People employed by Daracon also benefit from the ongoing training given to enhance their skills. I believe that small business in the immediate area benefit from the quarry from employers buying lunches, drinks, small goods ext. I fully support the proposed development at Martins Creek quarry. |

The Benefit of having this Quarry re-open is that it will create more jobs, it will give the Hunter Valley another Hard rock quarry aswell as other types of material, and with the amount of road works that need doing in the Hunter Valley and NSW for that matter, another quarry to supply rock and road bases is gojng to help fix all the damaged roads. |

I support Martin's Creek quarry. The supply of quarry materials ensures we have jobs. I am a pipe layer specialising in storm water. The local residents have plumbing and storm water drains, without these with the recent rain events more areas would've flooded with devastating results. I doubt most people realise what materials are required to build these essentials. |

I support the approval of the Martins Creek quarry as it provides an important resource for the railway and construction industry. It is also the only rail-connected on the Hunter Valley and provides a vital service to the rail industry in this region. Sufficient upgrades to the road network for road haulage are necessary and are well outlined in the report. The approval of the quarry will provide local jobs, support local businesses and can improve the amenities available to the local community. |

Martins Creek needs to be approved to allow the regional construction industry to progress efficiently. A reliable source of high quality construction materials is desperately needed as there are currently significant shortfalls being experienced causing delays, interruptions and cost overruns. The quarry would support increased job opportunities for local residents as well as those in adjacent regions. |

All the people concerned about extra traffic during the day are mostly at work any way. We cant build more houses and roads without mining and quarries, to refuse the expansion would be another influence to drive prices higher for building materials... People want houses and roads but dont want to be close to where materials come from, it is just the same as someone who complains about coal powerstations and then wonders why electricity prices soar... The extra trucks in my my area will mildly affect me buy having more on the road but that is a small price to pay when we are in an affordable housing crisis. |

We support the proposed development for a number of reasons: 1) The development is owned and operated by a respected locally based business. 2) The quarry provides much needed resources for the infrastructure needs of our region. 3) Quarry products are increasingly becoming scarce and having additional supply of materials is beneficial especially with the large infrastructure projects that are planned within the region over the next 10 years. 4) The proposed development is good for the local economy. 5) The proposed development will generate and provide employment to local people. |

I am in support of the Martins Creek Quarry DA Application. Having worked in the construction industry I've seen the impact of the shortage of materials on a number of projects. For the industry to move forward, we need this quarry open and operational to supply hard rock to businesses of varying sizes as well as Government Departments responsible for the maintenance on our roads. This quarry historically has supplied high-quality materials to the community and the moderate amount of transport recommended to move the tonnage shows the communities concerns have been addressed. I am in favour of the application going ahead. |

The mine was established at the site to utilise rail transport for the gravel. Given the subsequent development of the area, increases in local traffic and the chronically underfunded maintenance of our roads, the idea of transporting gravel out of the quarry by an endless fleet of trucks is unbelievable. These are minor rural roads in varying condition while the section that snakes through though the village of Paterson is particularly unsuited to such an onslaught with obvious safety concerns. The vast majority of material is transported out of the local region. If the mine can't economically return to rail transport Daracon should do the socially and environmentally responsible thing and start the process of locating a quarry somewhere where surrounding infrastructure can support its activity. In my limited experience ESG is not big at Daracon. |

This quarry is an essential part of Daracon. If we do not have this available to us it would be detrimental to our company. With more and more jobs starting and progressing it is essential for us to be able to have access to materials the quarry supplies. If not, the costs of jobs will increase. If we do not have access to quarry material our jobs will not progress. |

We need to be able to source quality materials. All of the government spending on construction and infrastructure projects will be impossible to complete if we do not have materials. This will provide ongoing and new employment opportunities and will be essential in the uncertain times that we are approaching. People's livelihoods will be at stake if the industry can't support the economy and material supply is non-negotiable. I empathize with those that have concerns but the quarry and associated transport has and can continue to operate safely. |

I write in direct support of the Martins Creek Quarry development - primarily in relation to the critical importance of this extractive resource for supporting current and future infrastructure development in the Lower Hunter and Central Coast regions. It is widely recognised within the Lower Hunter and Central Coast quarrying and construction sectors that existing regional quarries have insufficient combined supply capacity to meet existing and future demand of quarry materials required to support construction activities and infrastructure growth in these regions. The combined supply capacity shortfall can be attributed to several factors, including: - strong demand for quarry materials in recent years to support the infrastructure boom (this has included high-volume supply into the Sydney construction materials market); - recent closures of key quarries on the Central Coast as a result of resource depletion; and - insufficient investment and development of new quarries to replenish the supply of quarry resources capable of meeting existing and future market demand. This in part is the result of the very limited availability of alternate quarry sites located close to market that have geology suited to the production of fit-for-purpose quarry materials. Approval of the Martins Creek Quarry would significantly assist in reducing the supply deficit of quarry materials required by the the Lower Hunter and Central Coast construction sector and also reduce the volume of quarry materials that would otherwise need to be sourced from alternate, more distant locations, at higher cost and with higher greenhouse gas emissions. |

I am in support of the Martin's Creek Quarry. Newcastle is currently in a construction boom and Quarries like Martins Creek are necessary for the ongoing growth within our area. There are so many more benefits to having the quarry operating then the small perceived impact of the few. Local quarries mean local jobs, having people work locally helps to stimulate our economy and keep our city thriving. |

The aggregate market in Newcastle does not meet the current and future demand. Martins Creek is a well established and quality resource close to Newcastle and the Hunter. It is well positioned for short hauls meaning less fuel for future construction requirements as the area grows. |

With the upcoming works planned for the lower hunter / Newcastle area i believe Martins Creek should be approved for the following reasons - Reduced transport for materials in the Lower Hunter / Newcastle areas, Less truck movements from Quarries that are greater distances from the work meaning less emissions, less waste generated (Oil, Tyres, etc.) - Employment generated within Dungog Shire, - Increased availability for much needed large upcoming projects (M1 extension, Heatherbrae widening) and large Rail Infrastructure Projects - Reduced costs to local councils, road authorities, Rail authorities, |

Metromix support the Martins Creek Quarry Project. We have had an ongoing association with Martins Creek for over 20 years, as it has been one of the important quarries in the area to provide high quality construction materials to the industry. We have also had an ongoing association for many years with Daracon. They are a significant Hunter Region employee, with more than 800 people working for them. Through employment and the supply of hard rock materials, Martins Creek Quarry has long contributed to the economic growth of the Hunter Region and the State. The Amended Development proposed by Daracon has the potential to alleviate concerns over the regions ability to meet future construction demands required to meet a growing population in the Hunter Region. |

I support the approval of Martins Creek quarry as it’s a proven and valuable resource that’s desperately needed to improve the ongoing supply of high-quality construction materials to NSW and the Hunter Region. Like myself, every other person working in the civil construction industry is very well aware of the significant shortfalls that currently exist in the supply of high-quality construction materials, and this is having a detrimental impact on critical infrastructure projects, including ongoing repairs from recent rain and flooding. Martins Creek quarry is a State Significant Development, and it needs to be approved because it has the capacity to improve the amenity for the majority of NSW and Hunter Region residents if approved. Martins Creek quarry has supported many infrastructure projects over the years and has created many jobs in and around the Hunter region. With the continued growth of the region, material from this quarry is needed to construct these projects and support Newcastle and the Hunter Valley communities. Martins Creek quarry has operated for more than 100 years, and it’s needed now more than ever to get materials for new and damaged roads around the region. Please approve Martins Creek quarry so more long-term jobs can be generated |

Daracon are a creator of local jobs in the Hunter Region in the construction industry, as well as a contractor who constructs multiple residential development and important infrastructure projects in the region - a key priority for the State Government. Expansion of the quarry enables those projects to continue meaning retention of / creation of jobs in the region. |

I work in the construction testing industry and this project will provide myself with stable and ongoing job opportunities in the local area, where my kids go to school and we are a valuable members of the community. This is the case for all my work colleagues also. The clients that we work for are continuously struggling to source quarry material, let alone a premium quality rock source that is present at Martins Creek. This project will provide an additional source of quality material to the industry, which will ease this strain on the local area and local development projects. The greater Newcastle and surrounding areas are growing in population, and I believe this is due to the area being a great place to live. Development needs to keep on par to support this high demand, and sourcing good quality materials is the key for this to happen. I support this project as I believe the industry and local area needs this quality material to continue to thrive and be a great place to live, work and play. Thanks for your time and consideration. |

I support the project because there is a shortage of quarries available for projects to select from relative to demand. By approving more options then projects can source the product closer to the location and reduce environmental effects by reducing travel times and disruption to the number of residents along travel routes. The facility will provide greater opportunities for local employment. The greatest cost of quarry products becomes transport once the product becomes hard to source locally. By creating more options across more locations the cost of the product is kept down benefiting the end user. Currently one of the biggest drivers of inflation is the cost of fuel and the lack of housing. This is going to be exacerbated in the short term by rising interest rates. By reducing the cost of land developments and housing through greater supply we are addressing inflation in a more direct fashion. Often with development the perceived effects are far worse than the actual. If the majority of objectors were asked at the end of development if their perceived objections around the affects on them were realised they would admit they would admit the environmental effects on them were exaggerated Every one of us of lives in a building and uses community facilities created using these products. It is incumbent on all of us to suffer some minor inconvenience to indulge in the benefits these create |

As a Civil Engineer in the Hunter Construction Industry I have witnessed first hand over the past 3 years how the quarry material resource constraint has hampered project delivery. The availability of hard rock products has impacted each and every project I have been involved in over this time frame. With the forecasted major infrastructure projects over the coming years surplus to the baseline demand, Martins Creek expansion is the logical solution to the issues the industry is facing over the coming years. |

I work in the construction and material testing industry. The jobs that the proposed development will create, and flow on effects to other local businesses and associated industries can only be of benefit to the community. Plus the quarry resource is much needed for upcoming major NSW RMS road projects and other local projects, for road construction materials, which again will indirectly help employ many people on those projects as well. |

I am mainly concerned with supporting the ongoing use of the site as a quarry. If the proposal is not supported, it will impact jobs not only within Daracon but also the businesses it supports. The flow on affects will also impact home builders who rely on Daracon's products being supplied to developers in an efficient and cost-effective manner for the construction of subdivisions and other residential/commercial/industrial developments. Should developers need to import quarry products from further afield, this will increase the amount of transportation required and have more impacts on the environment through CO2 emissions. Currently the heavy vehicle routes are established to support the existing industry in the Hunter and Central Coast. If the proposal is not supported than new heavy vehicle routes will need to be established through existing areas that are not the subject of these traffic movements. |

I support this proposal in multiple ways. I support the overall quarry expansion proposal knowing it is in good hands with Daracon having first hand past experience to the high quality operation of the site, as well as I support the wide ranging economic benefits it provides to the area through direct employment as well as secondary services and consumables supply. I also support it because of the localised supply of high quality aggregates and quarry materials that are desperately being missed in the area since the shutting of the quarry. These materials have to be trucked into the area from other quarries far outside our zone adding to transport costs and long turnaround times being felt by local developments. I live in the local area (Bolwarra) , as well as work for a local company that has been directly engaged in the past providing a specialised service to the quarry. The benefits to the local community as a result of this quarry’s engagement of our company were wide ranging from the direct employment of people operating on site full time (2 people) , as well as contributing to secondary employment via support service providers such as machinery and light vehicle servicing, repairs, fuel (supplied by local service stations), consumables supply, courier services, specialised bulk product supply and technical personnel. This resource is vital to the prosperity of the area in so many ways I think the latest proposal has adjusted more than adequately and is a good compromise for all concerns raised by some rather vocal action groups that do not represent the views of the majority of people that actually live in the area. |

Martins Creek Quarry is one of the few hard rock quarries in the area, supplying rock, aggregates and pavement materials for the region. This is especially critical at the moment as local quarries are failing to keep up with the current industry demand. This has resulted in major price increases on materials, adding to the project costs or potentially even affecting the feasibility of much needed future infrastructure projects in our region. I myself am an employee within the construction industry so I know firsthand how difficult sourcing materials has been for the past 12 months, which is expected to get worse as some of the major local TfNSW projects commence. Companies across all levels of construction are having to look into alternate materials and propose to their certifying authority (local councils, TfNSW, ARTC etc), which in many cases is either not ideal or not accepted. The re-opening of the Martins Creek Quarry would help to alleviate some of this industry pressure, as well as supplying high quality products for our local infrastructure projects. |

There is currently a shortfall of quarry materials in the wider hunter area. We need to ensure a reliable supply of quarry materials to allow infrastructure projects to be progressed and completed. Whilst I understand that some local residents may be affected by increased traffic movements, I think that these negative impacts will be minimal when compared to the positive impacts that will be seen by the wider community. I note that the quarry will operate to strict agreed conditions that will minimise impacts to the local community. I am frustrated that local residents cannot understand the quarry material shortages that the construction industry currently sees. Reinstating quarry material supply from Martins Creek Quarry is vital in supporting infrastructure projects now and in the future. |

I support the application as it provides a much needed construction resource in our local region. With rising transport costs impacting heavily on our construction sector this year, this is an economic asset to have close by. The quarry will also be an employer in our local region, providing long term opportunities for our younger population in finding jobs close to home. The applicant is a reputable local business that has responsibly operated for many years in our region. |

I believe this project has massive benefits for the local community With only 60 trucks per day allowed to go in then out loaded , the balance by rail. I have been involved with quarries for over 14yrs and seen how beneficial to infrastructure within local and regional communities. For example Hanson Bass Pt quarry 60 trucks per hr over 10k per day out via road and this road goes straight through a sub division without complaints. Nil by rail. The reason is because the local community has allow for better infrastructure to be built to eliminate any impact. As for Daracon's proposal it will only benefit to the surrounding community through better infrastructure, more income, job security for locals. I don't understand why this would be knocked back, as even the local council has some of the poorest road condition in the Hunter Valley, improve the infrastructure more people will come to this area bringing more people, along with a secure future for our kids. I support this Quarry |

I am in full support of the Martins Creek Quarry as it directly supports the local and broader NSW community by providing a high quality and much needed natural resource to support infrastructure maintenance, manufacturing of construction materials, new construction of roads, rail and other critical infrastructure. There are some key environmental items that will need to be managed by the Operator however these are not considered to be indifferent to other operational mines that are needed to support NSW Government, Local Government, Industry and the NSW Community. The Operator is considered to be a highly reputable and responsible corporate citizen who understands the aspects and impacts from its operations and will ensure all required mitigation and consultation occurs consistently. |

I work in the civil construction industry and current challenges with materials are causing projects to be significantly delayed or stopping all together. The ongoing stress this personally causes my team and I is impacting our not only our work life but flows into our personal lives. This is unnecessary when there is already a quarry ready to supply materials into every aspect of infrastructure. Every house, road, shopping centre and piece of infrastructure requires these materials to continue. The future works program in the Hunter Region requires unprecedented amounts of material and the current available quarries will struggle to meet the demand. |

I support Daracon in moving forward and good luck in approval so I possibly have a better community to live in. |

I am in general support of the expansion. Building and material costs are getting out of control and any benefit to supply will keep costs down. In my experience Daracon are a very professional organisation and their involvement in local projects is only positive for the area. Thanks, James |

I write today's submission on Martin's Creek Quarry after listening to a few speakers during the public enquiry. I am familiar with the Martin's Creek Quarry and have visited the site. I am an Engineer working within the Newcastle region on infrastructure projects. Today (8/11/22) there were alot of local residents and the council members that outlined the impacts of living near the quarry. From what i heard, the majority of issue was around the use of heavy vehicles on the rural roads. The noise from the heavy vehicles were of high concerns, as was the impact to road safety. I would not appreciate truck and dogs driving past my bedroom window at 630am each morning. Nor would i like to ride my bike on the shoulder of patterson road with truck and dogs moving at speed past me. However, i see the value that this quarry will have to our insatiable appetite for road pavements, concrete and ballast. The seawalls within newcastle harbour were built by the rock which has since enabled hundreds of homes to be built. The ballast keeps our railways operational fuelling the valuable coal exports. There must be an engineering solution to this problem of vehicles within the roadway. Daracon doesnt own the roads, nor do they own all the trucks. You cant cart rock via rail to new subdivisions to enable housing growth, there is no railway line to cooranbong. Transport for NSW and Councils have responsibilities to provide roadways in this state. If there is a genuine demand and a need, then TfNSW should fund further upgrades to roadway. Daracon can only do so much with the existing infrastructure available. They do not have power to acquire new land for new roads, nor the authority to own or operate roadways. Short of new roadways, other options may include, conveyor system to a suitable discharge point, this is what is done within coal mines. But comparisons to coal is not a fair one. Coal currently sells for over $400USD/tone. Crushed aggregate is closer to $20-30AUD/t. If they cant be a quarry at martin's creek, a site where a quarry has sat since 1914, then what chance is there of ever opening a new quarry? Its not perfect, but the quarry is a valuable asset to us the people of the Hunter. We will be poorer without it. |

My view on approving this quarry is YES. Our road in local communities throughout the Hunter are in desperate repair. The supply of quality rock is a must to keep with demand throughout NSW in general as most large suppliers are to busy to help local markets I'm voting Yes please NSW government to approve Daracon's quarry. |

Morning to all concerned I'm in total favour of the reopening of Martins Crk Quarry , Reason being we operate a small haulage company which supply quarry products to our customers, Since the closure of Martins Crk our supply of products is continually getting harder to source. Reopening Martins Crk will enable us to continue fullfilling our obligations to our customers within the local area. |

We are in support for the quarry. As a civil contractor, our primary source of works is building infrastructure for local councils, in the last 2 year we have found it a lot more challenging to source gravels & aggregates, then ever before. With the current market situation on Newcastle in we are finding a 4month - 6month wait on being able to obtain gravel & schedule work in; and in addition due to the demand, prices have risen significantly, above what any small business could forecast / maintain. As a small civil contractor, ( established for 8 years now ). Daracon has always taken it time to support small business, whether it be machinery hire, or supply of quarry products, We feel that this application is another process that is helping the civil community move forward, and a process of continuing to deliver the quality civil resources & infrastructure the community requires. |

As a resident of the area who lives directly on the affected alignment, I would like to be a voice of reason in support of this development. I chose to live on a main road and accept what traffic occurs along this publicly accessible utility available to all to use. I have noticed very little reduction in trucks since the quarry has not been operating meaning that the trucks are still running for reasons other than this particular quarries activities, and transporting to development within the local area. If they dont transport from Martins Creek quarry, they will still bring it in from somewhere else like Brandy hill or Seaham. Development and growth will continue and roads will be impacted by trucks no matter what happens with this particular development. It is unfortunate that a vocal militant local action group makes the most noise in order to make it seem like nobody in the local area supports this development. I support the jobs, growth and socioeconomic benefits to the area. I dont agree with the MCQAG assessments that fearmongers residents into thinking house values will drop and trucks on roads will become unbearable (which it wasnt in the past). This development in my opinion is reasonable and warranted as well as needed for the prosperity of the area. |

As a business owner of a Company that relies on the supply of quarried materials to projects on which we are hired, I support the application made by Daracon Group for the expansion of Martins Creek Quarry. While I do not live locally, many of my employees live in the region and they indirectly benefit from the supply of quarry materials from Martins Creek through both employment and the improvement of local infrastructure from the use of these products in construction. |

Martin's Creek is a great place to live and visit but life goes on. And it has a wealth to give in the commodity toward road and rail infrastructure.. I think it would be in goverment planner's interest to approve such an expansion as these commodities are so hard to obtain on a daily basis and this will undoubtedly help the growth of the hunter region as a whole.. |

I support the proposed development. I work in the civil construction industry and Martins Creek is essential to this region for the supply of high quality construction products. These materials are required local and should be able to be produced locally reducing the need to truck materials over great distances where an existing quarry once used to supply the market. Not only does Matins Creek employ locals it supports hundreds of local jobs and families throughout the industry. There is a very strong workload in the Hunter at present and with Major Government Projects planned locally in the coming years additional pressure will be placed on the supply chain which is driving up cost and reducing the ability of existing suppliers to keep up with demand. This is delaying projects which are designed to improve local lifestyle and road safety. Martins Creek Quarry needs to be able to supply the market now to give certainty to the market and enable construction to proceed as planned. |

Martins' Creek quarry has provided quality material to some major projects in the surrounding area and stimulated the local economy for decades. The positive impacts greatly outweigh the adverse impacts to the environment and the community. To see this quarry shut down would be devastating to the local workforce and to the projects that rely on this quality resource. |

The Hunter has limited quarry suppliers resulting in uncertainty in the costs and quantities of existing quarry materials in the Hunter. This impact be increased in the next few years as a result of the large infrastructure projects planned for the Hunter. Martin's Creek provides an additional guaranteed supply which currently is uncertain. |

Hi, Have been a quarry neighbour for 15years and our property joins on to the quarry boundary. In our times and communications with the quarry we have had no concerns as a matter of fact quite a good neighbour. Always getting prior communications on blasting via text and emails. Any inspections or environmental workings that involve our property have been communicated well. The quarry is willing to listen and come to solutions with us. During the drought the quarry let us and still do to this date run our cattle for feeding and bushfire control. So we have no real issue with the quarry going ahead as the material from the quarry is of high quality and only from a few places and would be huge lose not just for our area but nsw. I do believe that the community needs to work in to make this work and be told the truth and all the data for the right out come. Regards Nigel |

Working within the civil construction industry there has a decrease in the supply of materials available to the market due to the continued closure of quarries, current limitations on supply from quarries and the increase in civil infrastructure works. With increased demand and decreased supply coupled with availability of quarried materials close civil infrastructure sites and surrounding markets prices for quarried have increased with companies are looking further afield to bring materials to their sites and are being charged a premium price to do so. Along with the decrease in the availability of quarried material time frames for civil infrastructure works are being ever increased with timeframes exceeding those tendered on. With the above being said the proposal for Martins Creek quarry should be approved as it will assist in aiding to increase supply back to the market especially with the proposed civil infrastructure projects commencing in the Newcastle / Hunter region. |

1. The company has listened to the community and reduced road haulage tonnes to a level that was reported to be Ok to the community prior to Daracon coming along. 2. The company has reduced haulage times and days further reducing impact on local communities 3. The company has modified it's quarrying footprint to minimize impacts on native flora and fauna, the prosed footprint maximizing volume of rock available whilst limiting tree clearing. |

Having worked for Daracon for over 12 years, and my partner 7 years, I would like to support to this development application and the security and economic support it will bring, not only to the company & it’s direct employees, subcontractors & clients, but the local economy and infrastructure projects too. There is a known materials shortage that is causing operational strain and project delays across many regions and industries, so it just makes sense for this development to be approved. I understand and feel empathy towards the local community, who do not support this development, as there is definitely not the most ideal infrastructure in place, however there has been concessions made to reduce material production and cartage. I also think at times, and obviously dependant upon each circumstance and impact, there is a need to consider the best interests of the greater community. It would be such a relief and so appreciated for many employees, families and businesses if Daracon in this instance could receive approval, but i also believe it should be acknowledged that there is opportunity to support future improvements/changes to the local infrastructure also. |

The construction industry is experiencing increasing demand for quarry products. However, currently there is not enough supply to meet the demand. Increasing the supply by opening more quarry's provides one solution to this issue. I believe the proposed quarry will have minimal impact on the community and will implement all the required controls to meet the communities concerns. |

Martins Creek produces aggregates for the construction industry to support infrastructure and jobs in the Hunter Region. It is important for the industry as a whole to ensure that quarries are developed in line with environmental approvals to help support NSW people. I support the Martins Creek Development given the details that have been assessed and the control measures proposed. |

As a construction project manager based in the Hunter Valley, I have witnessed the shortfall of good hard rock quarry material in the local industry over the past few years get progressively worse. In my opinion with imminent large infrastructure project in the hunter valley for clients such as TfNSW and funded by both state and federal governments without Martins Creek some of the proposed projects will simply not be possible to run concurrently. I have concerns that without an increased quarry capacity in the Hunter Valley that some of these vital road projects may be pushed back (ie: Newcastle inner city bypass from the 1980's) I support the proposal as it will benefit the wider community and construction industry and ensure the proposed government funding is able to be spent in the Hunter Valley where it is needed. |

If not here then where, with current economic growth and lack of domestic properties, lack of material supply is causing increased material costs and longer construction times which ultimately is passed onto home owners. |

Martins Ck quarry is important in providing quality materials for the construction industry The forecast requirements for quarry materials in the region due to upcoming construction projects relies upon multiple quarries servicing the works (including Martins Ck). Significant risks to cost, program and the quality of the project at completion will be borne by clients (NSW Gov) and contractors delivering the works The continued operation of the quarry is also important facilitating supply from local sources for local projects, the alternative would be to source specialised quarry materials from outside the region. This would also result in continued employment for local residents |

I support the approval because: The Martins Creek Quarry supports local employment from both full time employees at the site and many other full time positions relating to transport drivers delivering the materials within the local area. If materials have to be sourced from further away, Central Coast or Upper Hunter Valley for example then additional costs are ultimately passed on to the end user i.e. me and others like me in the community. Having another independent in the Market i.e. Daracon will help to keep the other bigger players like Hanson and Boral etc. honest. There is a shortage of good, quality hard rock materials in the area which can be used in the production of concrete to ensure good quality and with sufficient durability to last the test of time. If the quarry does not get the necessary approval to operate, I believe significant delays will occur during the construction of the M1 from Blackhill to Raymond terrace as the Contractors will not be able to source sufficient quantities of materials locally to build the road within the proposed timeframe. The Assessment has ensured that the quarry will operate to a very high standard and address issues relating to the environment (Noise, Dust, Traffic, Rehabilitation of landform etc.) - this quarry will be run to a higher standard than other quarries in the area. The Martins Creek Quarry, is not a brand new venture - it have been a solid source of quarry materials in the local area/market for many years previously. |

Further to the Department of Planning’s project APPROVAL recommendation to the IPC, I also support the revised Martins Creek Quarry Projects because; 1) The company has listened to the community and reduced road haulage tonnes to a level that was reported to be Ok to the community prior to Daracon coming along. They are happy to contribute to the maintenance of the road. 2) The company has reduced haulage times and days further reducing impact on local communities 3) The company has modified its quarrying footprint to minimise impacts on native flora and fauna, the proposed footprint maximizing volume of rock available whilst limiting tree clearing. 4) The company has shown that during the period of quarrying operations under the IEMP after the court case that the impacts from trucking are manageable for the existing road network. 5) The company has shown that it can control its subcontractor truck drivers, the reduced tonnage by road proposed will also see few hauliers required to undertake the works. 6) The Hunter Valley Region will continue to grow, in order to secure the future of our next generations hard rock resources such as Martins Creek Quarry need to be able to provide material to local and regional markets to allow for Civil Infrastructure such as Sewerage Plant, Sewerage Pipelines, Stormwater, Kerb and Gutter, Roadways, Footpaths, River Levee Banks, Airport Runways, Bridges, Water Storage Dams, Renewable Energy Projects to be undertaken. Without quality nearby sources of these high-quality materials being protected costs of these projects will balloon. 7) Any new approvals will provide a strict and clear set of rules for the operators of the quarry, transport operators and the local community to operate under, these conditions and rules will be clear. 8) Historical Quarries in the Hunter area that were close to the growing population centres have been exhausted, the Hunter area was built on the back of material supply from Quarries and overtime Quarries that were on the fringes of suburbia have been swallowed up, Quarries such as Lambton, Waratah/Platt's Quarry, Boomerang Park, Irrawang Quarry, Diemarrs Quarry, Newcastle Quarry (Also at Martins Creek), Fraser Park, Belmont, Greenpoint, Speers Point, Charlestown, Stockrington, Muswellbrook, Black Hill and others. This only leaves the existing quarries of Seaham, Brandy Hill, Hebden and Karuah to supply good quality Hard Rock into the Hunter Valley (Buttai and Allandale do not supply high quality rock for Concrete and Asphalt) at reasonable haulage distances and efficiencies –some of these are reaching end of life or are currently running at or beyond production capacities as well. Quarries in the Central Coast are also nearly exhausted so as time goes forward more rock from this region will be required to service the Central Coast and Sydney Regions. Quarrying is the cornerstone of a Civil Society and not just a nice to have, it is and will continue to be a primary and fundamental building block in modern society. 9) If not here then where – what does the planning department suggest – or is the plan that there is no growth , no new roads, no new hospitals, no maintenance???? 10) No local councils have any control on good quality hard rock resources in the Hunter Valley. Two of the largest quarries in the region are controlled by Multi-National Companies whose primary concern is the supply of Aggregates and products for Concrete and Asphalt, due to supply constraints at their other quarries on the Central Coast we are now seeing much of this product moved to Sydney this can be seen by the number of trucks on the freeway trucking material to Sydney, whilst local civil contractors large and small trying to execute their works for Mums and Dads, Local Councils, Transport for NSW and Developers go without and in some cases sit idle waiting for their turn to get some material. Daracon as a Civil Contractor has shown over it's 40 years of operation that it will provide quality civil infrastructure to the Hunter Valley region, for both it's own works and the contractors it works and competes with. 11) The rail connection allows growth into the Sydney Market as economies and scale permit, this quarry helps future proof the need for good quality rock for Civil Infrastructure moving forward. 12) Currently Civil Construction and Building Companies are struggling with rising costs, further constraints on capacity and availability of materials and decreased competition and options will further reduce the ability of business to complete works and also increase costs. 13) The operation will provide direct local employment for the quarry and support functions enabling options outside of coal mining for people. 14) Current demand is outstripping supply and production as a result quarries have no material stockpiled. This has implications for a range of issues including downstream impacts such as quality control especially for material going into long term assets such as buildings, bridges and hospitals, there is potential for inferior material to find its way into Concrete and asphalt resulting in reduced durability and longevity of assets. 15) Proposed tonnages by road will help increase efficiency of projects through timely delivery and availability of materials for Sewer Construction, Watermain Construction, Road Construction and Repairs through Asphalt and Two Coat Seal, Kerb and Gutter Construction, Footpath Construction, Hospital Construction, House Construction, Apartment Construction, Rehabilitation Works, River and Flood Stabilisation and Levee Construction and Repairs, Beach Stabilisation Works to local works. 16) The numbers being reported by the local action group do not stack up -31000 trucks a year for 500,000t per year is 120 truck movements per day not 280 movements? Understandably Daracon has looked at possible peaks to efficiently construct roads this will not be an every day impact at 280 trucks per day. This number at around 60 loaded trucks per day is closer to levels experienced well before Daracon took over which locals continually say is when trucking became an issue. This is scare mongering by the community group. 17) The road from Maitland to Martins Creek is designated a Main Road it is Main Road 101 and up until 1995 was a State Funded Road connecting the Towns from Stroud to Dungog and onwards to Maitland – over the years the various Councils have tried to get this road re-instated to receive State Funding https://www.dungog.nsw.gov.au/historic-road-funding-submissions there is a state road void in this area. It should be a state road as this area is significant to the State and continues to provide places for -people to live and industry to develop to employ those people. The member for Upper Hunter David Layzell perhaps should apply some of his political clout to fix this issue no matter the outcome of the decision in regard the quarry. Poor planning and lack of foresight from Dungog Council saw the land allocated to provide a roadway past Patterson sold off and developed years ago, this should not be an issue for any quarry to fix, especially at the now very low for a modern quarry road haulage tonnes proposed. 18) Most recently Dungog Shire Council has itself admitted when discussing with the IPC there are no other quarries (Reasonable Size and Quality) in it's LGA, there are none in the Maitland LGA or for that matter the Newcastle LGA. The Maitland Mayor and Council have recently advised the IPC that they are one of the fastest growing LGA's in the state and this is not expected to stop any time soon......Well if the future of not only this quarry but every other quarry is not secured in the near future, that growth and ability to maintain the Civil Infrastructure we currently have and enjoy will become very expensive to a point where it will not be viable and or possible for any works to be undertaken. The Dungog Mayor has recently stated in his weekly mayoral matters video that the shire cannot get materials such as gravel for road construction to build it's projects and there are no solutions to this issue. Sorry Mr Mayor but there is a solution and the 1991 DA for the Quarry has the words in it in that the operator of the quarry can ask permission from Council to move more tonnes by road than the 70/30 split nominated maybe he should approach Daracon for help. The irony is that when Dungog Shire is able to obtain supply of enough gravel to ensure an economical and quality job is completed with it's machinery it most often purchases gravel from a Quarry in the Cessnock LGA – these trucks then travel without any of the recent and proposed restraints that the Martins Creek Quarry trucks are held to account by through either the Villages and Townships of Heddon Greta, Gillieston Heights, Maitland, Lorn, Bolwarra, Tocal, Patterson or alternately Lochinvar, Rutherford, Maitland, Lorn, Bolwarra, Tocal, Patterson and through to wherever the Council Works maybe. In closing the revised proposal for the Martins Creek Quarry to continue operations and supplying material into the local community is reasonable and feasible, the proposed controls and conditions as recommended by the Department of Planning are very strict and will ensure that the operator of the quarry has clear rules and guidelines to adhere to and the community has a clear set of rules and guidelines to monitor performance against. This project should be approved as swiftly as the process allows so that the Hunter Regions and NSW can move forward and plan with some additional certainty around Construction Material supply. |

I am involved in an industry that relies on concrete aggregates for the supply of concrete. We are continually facing delays in getting supplies from major suppliers due to them telling us that they have no raw material to produce the amount of products needed. If there is a shortage from other quarries, would it not help provide raw materials by opening another supply point. |

I support martin's Creek quarry because of the consistent shortage in material supply across the demanding ever growing construction industry. If we want to continue development in the newcaslte and Hunter Valley regions, build the Hexham bypass, inner city bypass, continual road maintenance across all council regions, residential buildings high rise and subdivisions, this quarry is fundamental to source the required products and achieve the desired development outcomes in the region Due to the growing difficulty to source materials with closure of critical quarries and restrictions placed on them, it is causing the prices to sky rocket and causing projects to exceed budget causing contractors difficulty and coasting clients more to complete projects Quarry opened in 1914, so everyone that lives there are all knew to the area post quarry operation. Quarry was there first, they knew it when they bought so deal with it |

I work in Construction and quarry materials are very hard to come by and those you can get have had the price escalated monumentally to the point of not being able to build a job on budget. supply in the marketplace is constrained and demand is high, we need every possible supply avenue functioning at the highest level to support the infrastructure build that we have going on in the Hunter. Overdue and significant projects like the M1, Hexham Straits and JHH bypass are due to start putting further demand on a supply market that already can't keep up. |

The Construction sector in going through unprecedented growth and and the availability of quality, quarried and recycled construction materials such as road pavement materials, gravels and aggregates is hampering the ability for companies such as ours from delivering projects on time to our clients.

As part of the wider civil construction industry within the Hunter Valley, the supply of quarry material is severely limited. The ongoing operations of Martins Creek quarry is tantamount to the realisation of ongoing civil construction and large infrastructure projects in the region that benefit all. Some of these projects include but are not limited to: The M1 extension, Newcastle Bypass extension [Rankin Park to Jesmond], Hexham Straights widening and rehabilitation, Singleton Bypass, Muswellbrook Bypass etc. To successfully execute these projects the ongoing supply of quarry material is required from within the Hunter. This also alleviates increased trucking traffic coming into the area from the Central Coast and Sydney to perform the quarry supply function - if the project isn't approved it just creates a larger trucking problem for the wider Newcastle community as the material has to be sourced from further afar, thus creating even more trucks on the road. Martins Creek quarry is a known high quality material that services the Hunter in other areas such as concrete and sealing aggregates, erosion and sedimentation control rock sources [scour rock] and other building and civil products. |

I support Martin's Creek quarry for various reasons. I believe the proposal adequately addresses many of the concerns of the community. There would always be room for continual improvement however and would likely evolve as the project develops. In the construction industry road base and aggregates have been under a constant strain due to limited quarries available. This is driving up construction costs and causing significant delays for projects. Having this quarry functional again would greatly assist the Hunter Valley and Newcastle region for sourcing material. With upcoming major projects and major subdivision works there would not be sufficient material in the area to service the projects. |

I support the submission as it will benefit my local community. We are a quickly growing area and require expansion to our infrastructure framework to support the increase in population. Improved infrastructure and facilities will lead to growth in many areas of the community, including increased employment opportunities. The availability of quality materials from Martins Creek Quarry will be an integral component in the construction process. I have evaluated the various concerns highlighted but believe that the benefits of the development outweigh these issues. Systems can be put in place to monitor and manage these issues. |

As someone working as a traffic manager in the construction industry, The material that comes out of martins creek is a highly sought after product used in construction construction industry, particularly road construction. It’s one of the most preforming products I have be able to use in my career, and would have a negative affect on the construction industry if the product was no longer available. I support the quarry extension. |

I feel that this quarry needs to continue operating as it is vital to the local economy by way of providing the materials required for infrastructure works. There is currently a shortage of quarry materials in this area and resources are dwindling. The majority of the material will be used on roads and rail, and as we have seen in recent floods, it is a necessary resource to maintain roads. |

I am writing this submission in favour of the proposed development application. As I am nearing retirement and with the rapidly increasing cost of living I am concerned that the rejection of the application will see not only rates etc rapidly increase due to councils having to source material from further afield (increased haulage costs) but also reduce the availability of additional employment opportunities for residents of the Hunter. With the state government announcing multiple construction projects the demand for materials is outstripping supply. There are already existing quarries in the Hunter Valley that cannot supply materials for existing projects. Wherever you travel throughout the Hunter Valley the condition of the road network is appalling and the continued rejection of construction material projects will add further pressure on an already dire situation. The application has been modified to reduce haulage to 5 days per week including the cessation of haulage between xmas and new year as well as the Quarry design has been modified to reduce the impact on flora and fauna. The population of the Hunter will continue to grow and as such the infrastructure will need to expand with it. This application is imperative to the continued expansion of the hunter and its prosperity. |

It will be a good thing for the community. Jobs and extra money for the council to repair roads as well. Local businesses will benefit from workers and drivers using their businesses. Traffic will be a bit busy but no different with trucks buses and cars currently using the roads. They only run on main roads, unlike some social media saying they're on residential streets. It's thumbs up from me |

The quarry sits unused during extremely busy hectic construction period. The local construction companies are using out-of-the-area quarries, not supporting the Hunter economy. Sourcing the quarry product from elsewhere is increasing the cartage distance (more pollution) and is increasing the cost, which could be invested elsewhere in good for the local community. The quarry shall be opened rather sooner than later which will save on the cost of sourcing the material and it will save on carting the material shorter distances. Our Hunter Area is growing at rapid speed and keeping the quarry closed a step backward. Regards, Zdenek Vilimec, Charlestown. |

Materials that this quarry would provide for the local community are in dire shortage and are causing inflated lead times and costs in various sectors which would be alleviated by re-opening Martins Creek Quarry. |

The expansion of Martins Creek Quarry is important for the overall Hunter Region as it not only supplies vital quarry products to various industries, it also supports many local jobs. I believe the proposed expansion is positive for the region. |

I am in support of the Martins creek Quarry submission. Working in the industry it has been an extremely tough time getting materials from other quarries as they are at capacity or can't meet material specifications. This Quarry has the best hard rock for Civil Construction materials, levee bank stabilisation and local landscape products. This shortage of Quarry materials in our area has had a extreme impact on supportive businesses that rely on the Quarry for example, Electricians, Cleaners, Haulage companies, Building Contractors, Plumbers and Landscapers to be able to utilize the materials in their business. The roads across Newcastle and the Hunter are a disgrace and are dangerous to commuters, this is also hitting people pockets due to the damage it is causing to cars. Without this quarry the Hunter region will not be able to deliver on projects due to the shortage of construction materials. The reduction in proposed tonnes seems reasonable to me. |

I support the approval of Martins Creek quarry as it’s a proven and valuable resource that’s desperately needed to improve the ongoing supply of high-quality construction materials to NSW and the Hunter Region. Like myself, every other person working in the civil construction industry is very well aware of the significant shortfalls that currently exist in the supply of high-quality construction materials, and this is having a detrimental impact on critical infrastructure projects, including ongoing repairs from recent rain and flooding. Martins Creek quarry is a State Significant Development, and it needs to be approved because it has the capacity to improve the amenity for the majority of NSW and Hunter Region residents if approved. |

I support the Martins Creek Quarry Project. This quarry has supplied quality material for many years to a diverse range of projects. The quarry and infrastructure projects it has supported over the years has created many jobs in and around the Hunter region. With the continued growth of the region, material from this quarry is needed to further build these projects and support Newcastle and the Hunter Valley communities. |

It is an existing quarry that has been there since 1914. There will be limiting truck movements and increasing supply of good quality rock. The footprint of the quarry will not change. The material will be used to fix up roads that have been damaged by recent weather events. The quarry products go into the levy banks that protect the cities in the Hunter River. It will secure jobs. |

The Martins Creek Quarry has been part of the township for many many years and has been supporting the local community with employment all of this time. Not just local businesses are supported there are also businesses in surrounding townships who are directly reliant on the quarry. There seems to be a lot of people who have recently moved to the area that are not supportive of the quarry and have been totally misinformed. The quarry has been there with full knowledge of these people moving into new properties so why object to the workings of it now? I personally have lived next door to a local quarry, and in these 15 years in doing so have not been exposed to any discomfort in anyway. I have trucks going past my front gate quite often and these operators respect and work with the locals to make the operation a success. This quarry also has restrictions in place and everybody works hard to maintain all of these restrictions, and in doing this there are no concerns from locals around this quarry. With all the conditions that have been put inplace at Martins Creek Quarry there is no reason that this quarry cannot remain a part of the local community's business group employing local and surrounding members of these communities. Materials for roads and concrete are sourced from the quarry and this resource is becoming more and more difficult to locate. If this material cannot be sourced local it will drive costs signifyingly higher for local customers including local councils who will have to pass these costs on. In finishing I just want to say work together, not against each other and this local business will keep supporting the community in many ways. |

I support the Martins Creek Quarry as i believe it is of huge importance for our future generations to have the materials required for community infrastructure, civil works, roads etc in and around the Hunter region. Daracon have been extremely responsible in the management of Martins Creek Quarry and have implemented many changes to lessen any impact on the local community including transport cartage times, truck numbers & quarry operational hours. Recent weather events, the spiraling cost of raw materials from outside the area for infrastructure and roads makes the continuation of Martins Creek extremely sound forward thinking and planning. We can't afford not to have local supplies of vital materials for our ever expanding housing communities and associated infrastructure. We have a huge resource on our door step which will serve our community for many years. Many jobs will be created in the process and local businesses all benefit from the flow on effect of local employment. |

This would be of great benefit to the community let alone the whole of Hunter Valley. Community wise it bring employment and the ability for the workers to spend money within the community helping local businesses survive. The Hunter will benefit greatly as quality hard rock is limited to a smaller number of multi national owned companies, if Daracon get the go ahead this will give back to community throughout the Hunter Valley and beyond. In my years of being a novacastrian I have yet to see any of these big companies give back to the community's to which they work in. I'm all for this project. |

As a professional civil engineer in the Newcastle and Hunter region, I have been experiencing first-hand the numerous supply based constraints putting severe pressure on all members of the construction community. In a time where housing affordability and asset quality is at the forefront of media and social concern, the conditional expansion of Martin's Creek quarry is a welcomed notion. The supply of quality material for not only Daracon, but many construction contractors, will aid in the continuation of projects, sustainability of small business, and confidence in quality construction across the industry. |

As a member of the Civil Construction Industry within the Hunter Valley the current supply issues with quarry products is severely impacting the ability of contractors to be able to undertake works. Current issues are severely impacting Budget and Programs. It is imperative with the amount of works scheduled to be undertaken in the Hunter Region in the near future that additional quarry material sources are available. Martins creek was always a key quarry being able to supply high quality aggregates and Roadbase Materials. In my opinion it is imperative that the proposed development of Martins Creek Quarry be approved. |

1. As the Hunter Region continues to grow, the need for quarry materials is essential. Future developments such as upgrade of roads & hwys, schools, housing etc require quarry materials for drainage, concrete production, road base etc. 2. Australian's pay their taxes so that the above developments can be completed efficiently and to a high standard. The frequent closure of quarries nation wide significantly reduces these project start and finish dates. In addition, due to the high supply and demand generated as a result of quarry closures, the cost of materials is increasing dramatically. |

On behalf of Johnson Property Group (JPG), we extend our organisations support for the Martins Creek Quarry Extension. Our support is based on, but not limited to, the following reasons; - JPG has indirectly sort high quality quarry products from this quarry for many years to enable construction of our many residential subdivision projects across the Hunter Region. The availability of such quality product, locally, provides for local contractor employment and competition in the market place, particularly for local developments like land subdivision and road infrastructure that drives a substantial portion of our economy. - Further operation and availability of this quarry creates a huge amount of benefit to the broad communities, businesses and employment opportunities within the Hunter Region for many years to come. - Aside from the above noted benefits, we acknowledge the applicant’s efforts in amending the proposal in their consideration of local community issues.

I would like to start by saying that i do not reside in the immediate area/transport routes for the quarry and i do understand that at certain times of day this can cause disruption to residents. However, if the Quarry does not re-open or re-opens on unreasonable restrictions the cost to our community as a whole will be far greater. It seems to be an unfortunate case of people really not understanding the role Quarries play in supporting every service and road we use on a daily basis. Nobody wants to live in close proximity to a quarry, mine, concrete plant etc. however Martins Creek Quarry has been in operation for a very long time and whilst operations have increased since Daracon took over operation of the quarry this also coincided with the start of a population boom in the Newcastle/Hunter Valley area. With that comes the need for improvements in infrastructure-especially main roads and highways, and new services. To carry out major projects such as the Beresfield to Heatherbrae M1 extension, the Inner City Bypass and the Belford to Golden Highway Project just to name a few using Quarry materials that meet TfNSW specifications, you need Hard rock quarries for this. The other hard rock quarries in the area are already at capacity and are obviously restricted by their own DA's. Every person in our community wants access to better roads and services, especially in regards to the heavy traffic at Hexham (especially during holiday periods) so i believe all of the above needs to be seriously considered when making this crucial decision for the community. |

I support the Martins Creek Quarry Development as proposed. I believe the development proposed adequately and effectively considers and manages all relevant issues and impacts to a contemporary best practice standard. It provides for a State Significant quarry development that offers excellent improved outcomes for the community, region and state. The responsible approach adopted by Daracon has seen the original proposal modified to ensure that all impacts have been effectively mitigated and are to be managed in a socially responsible manner into the future. The resource is a high quality material desperately needed in the region to address current high quality aggregate, roadbases, railway ballast, river and harbour revetment rock, manufactured sands and civil construction material shortages. Such shortages are already limiting and impeding major development projects. This situation is significantly worsening as several other existing resources in the region are themselves facing limitations / constraints due to the delays associated with obtaining development consents. This resource has existed and operated for over a century. The area is already disturbed and established as a quarry resource. With a minimum of further surface expansion as proposed, the resource will continue to supply high quality product at economically cost effective standards. The significantly reduced road transport and efficient operations proposed, over that which existed under previous ownership by the NSW State Government Authorities, offers the community greatly improved outcomes whilst ensuring the continued supply of essential civil construction materials at cost competitive pricing and to the highest quality standards. Non approval will only serve to require materials to be sourced from resources further afield increasing the road haulage distances increasing fuel consumption and transferring any issues or impacts to another location. It is appalling to see the miss-information that has been spread by certain members of the community seeking to frighten residents along the haulage paths and in the surrounding areas for their own interests. One anticipates that the regulatory parties involved will understand the concessions made by Daracon to improve the operational standards to the highest levels and negate impacts to the community. |

Martins Creek quarry material is the best road base and aggregate material in the Hunter Region. I support reopening this quarry. Other quarries are already at capacity and can not product and transport materials. |

the local construction industry requires the materials that are produced in this quarry which are becoming very scarce and hard to obtain there are a lot if works being carried out in the local area that require these quarry materials and the local roads need continuing maintenance, especaiily lately the haulage times and truck movements have been reduced to minimize impact o local communities |

Due to the Covid Pandemic this project is essential and critical to the local areas and local businesses. This project not only provides employment but helps small business in the area thrive. I believe that Daracon will stand firm in line with the planning and environmental controls and no doubt will do the right thing by the local communities and the environment. As Daracon is a family owned company it is here for the long haul not like a corporate overseas companies who just care about making revenue and will cut corners to do so. |

I support the development of Martins Creek Quarry. There are so much shortage on good quarry products in the hunter region at the moment. Many roads and bridges are impacted due to recent flood which are still yet to be fixed. There are also a lot of new construction projects starting in 2023. Allowing Martins Creek to transport quarry materials via roads is what the market needed. |

I have worked in the construction industry for the last 30 years and have never seen the supply issues that we are currently experiencing for quarry product's in Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. This is directly affecting the future for Newcastle and the Hunter Valley. Another problem is that by having to import these materials from outside the area we are seeing a cost increase in projects both large and small as a direct result of lack of quarry materials, which is contributing to the increase in the cost of living. |

As a Senior Project Manager working on many of the regions largest infrastructure projects over the past 25 years it is important to provide a perspective of the value a hard rock quarry such as Martins Creek provides. There are a limited number of hard rock quarries with a pugmill able to produce a compliant heavily bound base road gravel. This has been one of the most cost-efficient heavy duty pavements available in the Hunter Region for over 150 years. In order for major infrastructure projects to have a sensible degree of competition between the few remaining quarries able to meet quality requirements Martins Creek should be approved to remain open. They have contributed largely un-noticed to the improved quality of life of almost every person in the Hunter region. We drive on heavy duty pavements built from the rock this quarry and others like it produce. The community expects high quality roads without pot-holes and with high speed inter-connecting state roads with sufficient capacity to not have major congestion. This is recognised within the State and Federal budgets in the largest infrastructure spend ever currently underway. Within the Hunter Region approval has been given for; M1 Motorway to Raymond Terrace, Hexham Straight Widening, Rankin Park to Jesmond Newcastle Inner City Bypass, Singleton Bypass, Muswellbrook Bypass, Belford to Golden Highway and Nelson Bay Road upgrade. These projects are approved on the large community benefit they offer which totally outweighs the cost of the works. The traffic network, its expansion and maintenance is entirely dependent on quarries such as Martins Creek staying open. The businesses, construction workers, freight operators, and all customers of these industries include every singly person in the region. Some are more directly affected as their family relies on the income provided by the person working on the road. Others indirectly benefit by cheaper freight, cheaper groceries at the supermarket, better use of taxes resulting in less need for taxes. The socia-economic benefits accrued from this quarry remaining open are too broad and immense to be compared to the small number of detractors that selfishly complain about individual discomforts at the greater expense of the populous. It is only the myopic, ignorant and solipsistic who don't understand the need for quarries to build upgrades removing congestion from busy roads and keeping them safe, or believe quarries should only exist in someone else's district so they don't have to put up with the inconvenience of loaded trucks passing them on the very roads the quarries build. That same complainant having smugly closed a quarry through their inordinate belly-aching would no doubt be the first to complain once the roads they drive on become pot-holed, or congested needing an upgrade. In the interests of the broader community as well as the hard working engineers and construction workers that seek to maintain a low cost high standard of living for all please approve the Martins Creek development. |

I support the Martins creek quarry expansion due to there now being a lack in the supply of quarry products in this area. My business and many others rely greatly on the products supplied from Martins creek quarry to complete local construction/road works in a timely and cost effective manner. Without this quarry in operation our trucks need to travel a considerably greater distance putting greater strain on other towns roads and the environment. I believe this quarry expansion would have a positive impact on the local economy and community. |
