In accordance with the requirements of City of Wanneroo’s Extractive Industries Local Law 1998, Urban Resources Pty Ltd also requires an Extractive Industry Licence to carry out extractive industry on Lot 9003.
Urban Resources has submitted an application to the City of Wanneroo for an Extractive Industry Licence at the above-mentioned property.

- It is expected that at least 100,000 tonnes of sand per annum will be screened and processed for the market, with the remainder extracted for use of filling parts of Lot 9003.
- Limestone and sand not used for earthworks will be pushed into stockpiles to the floor of the pit, before being loaded into road trucks to be transported off the site;
- It is expected that there will be an average of 100 vehicle movements per day (80 being from trucks), increasing to 320 movements daily (300 from trucks) to service large contracts.
- There will be a 2-10 person workforce, depending on the level of the operations and market demands;
- Operating hours of 6.00am – 6:00pm Monday to Saturday (excluding public holidays);
