HODGLEIGH KEY RESOURCE AREA – KRA 93
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA: Nanango Shire
LOCATION:
The resource is located on the northern side of the D’Aguilar Highway near Hodgleigh,
approximately 7 kilometres northwest of Nanango (see map KRA 93).
EXTRACTIVE RESOURCE: Quarry Rock
EXTRACTIVE RESOURCE DESCRIPTION:
The resource comprises quartzite, mudstone and greywacke, which form a prominent ridge
northwest of Barker Creek. The rocks have been hornfelsed (metamorphosed) by a nearby
large granitic intrusion.
A major quarry is located on the southern end of the resource.
SIGNIFICANCE:
The remaining resource is sufficient for at least another 10 years production. The resource is
conveniently situated to supply a wide range of quarry products to a market extending
throughout the South Burnett region.
SEPARATION AREA:
The separation distance is set at 500 metres from the western edge of the resource/processing
area, as intervening ridges partly shield the resource on this side. A width of 1000 metres is
required for the remainder of the separation area as no similar topographic screening exists.
A small area of Future Urban zoned land west of the resource has been excluded from the
separation area.
TRANSPORT ROUTE:
The transport route is directly onto Hodgleigh North Road and thence onto the D’Aguilar
Highway.
