Contained within ResourceCo’s Hampton Park resource recovery site is an end-of-life quarry, approximately 1.2km east of the intersection of Glasscocks Road and the South Gippsland Highway (opposite the Cranbourne Golf Club entrance).
The old quarry was established and operated by another company, and quarrying operations ceased in 2009.
What’s happening?
ResourceCo is overseeing the active rehabilitation and closure phase of the quarry located within our Hampton Park site. The objective of this current phase is to restore the quarry in an environmentally sound manner. We acknowledge the need for these works to be considerate of our neighbours, particularly when they occur at night.
To assist, we have implemented, continue to monitor and adapt, operational measures to minimise disruptions.
How long will this work take?
This phase of the rehabilitation program will occur Day/Night, Monday to Friday with an estimated completion period during Spring 2025. To reduce the likelihood of dust impacting nearby residents, works are being prioritized during wetter months. This approach will also reduce the overall timeline of the project.
What’s being done to reduce the potential impact of night operations?
Certain site operations are either ceased or extensively restricted during periods of night work, the steps we have already taken include:
Sound-based mitigation measures:
- Relocated unloading operations away from neighbouring properties.
- Nil crushing/hammering operations or grading/final material placement.
- Material is placed in the quarry void, 5 meters below ground level.
- No concrete or demolition material receival at night.
- Truck operators are inducted and reminded to tip off with awareness of their surroundings and time of tipping.
- Third-party engaged to monitor sound, sensors active throughout night operations.
- Haul roads are maintained with a grader, and speed is restricted to reduce the noise of empty trucks.
Dust-based mitigation measures:
- Tipping sites and haul roads extensively monitored and watered using the on-site water truck.
