'In the mid nineties the Austen Family decided to develop a large deposit of Rhyolite identified on their property ‘Karingal‘ at Hartley, New South Wales. Don Reed was asked to review the geological information on hand and to devise a wide ranging plan for a substantial quarry operation. Such a plan to take into account the environmental sensitivity of the area generally, in particular the location of the site adjacent to the Coxs River, the characteristics of the stone, the changing market scene arising from the rapidly diminishing reserves of the Penrith Lakes Scheme together with approximate capital costs and likely financial performance. Finally, and depending on the outcome of these studies Mr. Reed was asked to lead in the preparation of an Environmental Impact Statement as a basis for an application for Development Consent. |
