The proposal application stated the proposed fuel tank will have a safe fill level of 73,350 litres, out of the full 81,500 litres size, to be filled with diesel.

It is not expected that there would be more than 100 vehicle movements per day at the site.

Sealed roads are to be constructed as part of the approval to “minimise dust impacts on the surrounding land uses”.

The roads would also be widened to allow for safe and efficient traffic flows and B-double trucks to access the site.
