Areas of Concern
Protection of Project Access Corridors and Design Flexibility
Issue - Road Corridors
The failure of the DNLUP to recognize proposed and potential road corridors, such as those associated
with the Hackett River Project
Importance:
Projects will be isolated if located within 'Limited Use' areas that prohibit linear development or other
associated activity
Without roads, mines would be unable to transport infrastructure, construction materials, fuel,
personnel or concentrate

For base metal mines mineral concentrate cannot feasibly be transported by air, and road access is
required
For projects which have not completed construction, FLEXIBILITY is required in infrastructure footprints
and road routing

о
Proposal stage - conceptual drawings depicting possible mine infrastructure and road routes are
prepared to allow government bodies and regulators to determine guidelines for the preparation of
an impact assessment
These depictions undergo SUBSTANTIAL revision and evaluation over the established regulatory
processes
This flexibility is often captured using "Potential Development Areas" or similar in Draft and Final EIS
applications
