WINDERMERE KEY RESOURCE AREA – KRA 100<br />
LOCAL GOVERNMENT AREA: Winton Shire<br />
LOCATION:<br />
The resource occurs about 11 kilometres south of Winton (see map KRA 100).<br />
EXTRACTIVE RESOURCE: Soil<br />
EXTRACTIVE RESOURCE DESCRIPTION:<br />
The resource consists of a surface layer fine grained silty s<strong>and</strong> (loam), overlying a thick<br />
sequence of clayey alluvium. The loam is an important source of binder material for<br />
admixture with the gravel from the Bladensburg deposit. The material represents old river<br />
<strong>and</strong> floodplain deposits.<br />
SIGNIFICANCE:<br />
The resource is on a reserve that is held by Main Roads as Trustee <strong>and</strong> has reserves estimated<br />
to be sufficient for more than 20 years supply. All other areas of loam suitable for blending<br />
with the gravel from the Bladensburg resource have been exhausted for at least 70 kilometres<br />
in each direction along the state controlled roads. It is the only source available for use in the<br />
construction & maintenance of the National Highway <strong>and</strong> Kennedy Developmental roads.<br />
SEPARATION AREA:<br />
A separation distance of 200 metres has been adopted around the perimeter of the resource.<br />
The resource is bounded on the southern side by the Winton Town Common which is<br />
currently used for grazing stock. The remainder of the surrounding l<strong>and</strong> is zoned as Rural.<br />
TRANSPORT ROUTE:<br />
Materials are transported via an unsealed road to the Winton – Jundah Road <strong>and</strong> then onto the<br />
L<strong>and</strong>sborough Highway in Winton.<br />
