Proposed short-term continuation of dredging of shell sand on Success Bank, Owen Anchorage; and proposed strategy to address the long-term environmental issues of shell sand dredging

Cockburn Cement Limited (the proponent) proposes to dredge 3.7 million tonnes of shell sand from 67ha of Success Bank over a two year period. The area would be dredged using existing plant and equipment. Of the 67ha that is proposed to be dredged, 17ha has substantial seagrass coverage.
