"Main Roads has no objection subject to the following condition being imposed:
· This approval is limited to production of 20,000 tonnes per annum purified
spherical graphite.
The condition of approval limiting the scale of facilities is based on the detail within
the application, including the Transport Impact Statement, based on a certain
production output. If an approval was granted that did not specify a maximum output
and production exceeds what was originally proposed, the traffic and any other
impacts have not been assessed and might not be acceptable.
If in future it is proposed to increase production of such facilities then an application
will need to be made for an amendment to the development approval, with
appropriate supporting information such as a revised Transport Impact Statement. "



As I understand it, the permit is for 20ktpa, but is only limited by Main Roads, as they probably then factor in the stress on the roads there. I assume something like this can be extended without making a big fuss.On the other hand, it is only about production, even a 25kt plant can only produce 20kt. So, in my opinion, it is not forbidden to build a larger plant directly and without permission. How do you see itTranslated with DeepL
