The Independent Planning Commission has approved the Hanson concrete plant on Glebe Island, with some restrictions in response to community concerns, with consent only until 2040, a lower building and ship delivery hours reduced to largely between 6am and 10pm.

Conditions require the operators to minimise light pollution, use best practice noise mitigation and have a 24 complaints line. They will set up a Community Consultative Committee including representatives from Jacksons Landing Action Group, Jacksons Landing Coalition, Pyrmont Action Group and the Bays Community Coalition, with a communication plan to keep adjacent communities informed. Ships will have to use low sulphur fuel or have exhaust cleaning systems. Details> HERE
