Proposal for the export of woodchips through the Port of Bunbury: variation of McLean Consolidated Pty Ltd (1988) project

An application by McLean Consolidated Pty Ltd to export hardwood woodchips derived from the sawmill wastes of the Denmark Sawmill through the Port of Albany was approved by the Minister for Environment in 1988. Since being granted that approval, several factors concerning the original proposal have altered, including change of ownership of both the project and the sawmill. The proponent, Southern Plantations Chip Company Pty Ltd, now wishes to export woodchips derived from sawmill wastes through the Port of Bunbury for an interim period of two years. The source of the sawmill wastes is not specified.
