4 Shire of Westonia Council News 19th December 2017 fortnightly information from us to you RAV Network Information Westonia Carrabin Rd ALL ROAD USERS :-EXTREME CAUTION REQUIRED UNTIL MARCH 2018 The Chief Executive Officer met with Ben Klemasz, Operations Manager with Blue Cap Mining in relation to a proposal to transport gold ore from Jim Symes property (Symes Find) located at South Moorine Rock to Ramelius Resources mill (Edna May Operations) in Westonia. During discussions Mr Klemasz advised of the proposal to mine and transport 75,000 tonnes of gold ore via road, utilising Moorine South Road, Great Eastern Highway and Westonia-Carrabin Roads to the mine site in Westonia. Hamptons Transport have won the contract to cart the ore and will be carting with the following combinations: Configuration 1. It is proposed that the job would start on 18th December 2017 and continue until approximately the end of March It is envisaged that four to six trucks would be employed doing about three return trips per 12 hour shift. This would equate to one truck movement every ninety (90) minutes on average for a 24 hour cycle. While access to the route is a relatively simple process, the sheer volume of additional traffic on the Shire s Road will increase to 3,500 vehicle movements over the three (3) month period. Council encourage all Road users to take extra care, particularly at the intersecting roads to the Westonia-Carrabin Rd. Bogie Prime Mover and semi-trailer towing a B Double less than 36.5 metres overall length loaded to AMMS Level 3. Configuration 2.
