Kalbar Operations’ proposed mineral sands mine at Glenalaladale has been knocked back.
State Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, last week said the project will not proceed as it would have unacceptable risks to the environment.
Mr Wynne accepted the independent advisory committee recommendation that found the project would significantly impact local wildlife, vegetation, air quality, agriculture and horticulture.
The assessment also concluded the project would have posed significant risks to surface water downstream of the proposed mine.
