Proposed Maldon Rail Terminal

Introduction


Boral Quarries NSW proposes to establish a new rail terminal at Maldon, near Picton in south western Sydney to receive quarry materials from Peppertree Quarry at Marulan South in the Southern Tablelands of NSW. The terminal is proposed to be located adjacent to the Maldon Cement Works operated by Boral Cement which has existing access to the Main Southern Railway Line.

The terminal will initially transfer Peppertree Quarry's products from rail to road, linking the quarry to Boral's markets in Sydney. The terminal may also be used by other Boral quarries in the future.

This website will be updated regularly and expanded as the project develops.

Community Feedback


On 22 July 2010, a community meeting was held to present the findings of the environmental impact assessment and to obtain feedback from the local community.

Valuable feedback was given by the community during a workshop session, which has been considered in the environmental impact statement (EIS). A summary of the issues raised during the workshop session and how it has been addressed in the EIS can be found on the link below.

Lodgement of Development Application


The development application, along with the EIS was lodged with Wollondilly Shire Council on 15 December 2010. To avoid the public exhibition period running into the Christmas school holidays, Boral has requested that the 28 day exhibition period be commenced mid January 2011 so that the community has every opportunity to comment.

Council will advertise the public exhibition period in local newspapers and make copies of the EIS available for people to view. The EIS will also be posted on the this website (www.boral.com.au/maldonterminal) so that it can be freely accessed by the community. Any submissions from the community during the public exhibition period should be directed to Council in the manner they state.

Once the EIS has been exhibited, Council will prepare an assessment report for the Sydney West Joint Regional Planning Panel, who will make the final determination on the development application.
