We have been quite distracted lately due to corona virus disruptions. The chairperson of the CCC advised us in early March that a Voluntary Planning Agreement (VPA) had been agreed with Port Stephens Council. Sorry for the delay in bringing that to you. The press release about the agreement is here: 2000305 Hanson_Brandy Hill Quarry VPA Statement
Our attempts to obtain the detail of the agreement have been unsuccessful, claiming confidentiality, as it also includes details of the haulage levy.
However, the press release does cover the two key items of infrastructure that BHSAG have campaigned for: Off-road bus stop bays and a shared pathway, so that is very good news. The aspect of when those items would need to be constructed will be determined by the NSW Department of Planning and the Independent Planning Commission. (More on that shortly)
We hope everyone dodged the corona virus, and that you are making cautious use of the relaxed rules for social interactions.

Marguerite, thanks to your & everyone’s steadfastness that is an achievement. Regards, Jane, Shepherds Ground.
