Consultation is open on both the Scheme Amendment and Development Application for a vanadium processing facility at Lots 40 and 41 Geraldton-Mount Magnet Road, Tenindewa.
- The purpose of the Scheme Amendment is to rezone a portion of Lots 40 & 41 from the ‘Rural’ to the ‘General Industry’ zone and insert additional development requirements for the site within the scheme.
- The development application proposes a vanadium processing facility with materials storage and laydown areas, evaporation ponds, internal access roads, two new entry points to Geraldton-Mount Magnet Road, construction camp and energy infrastructure.
