Chalice Mining Gonneville Project Update
The proposed amendments to Chalice Mining’s Gonneville Project are currently open for public comment through the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA), with the consultation period closing on Thursday, 5 November 2026 via the EPA's website.
The Shire of Chittering has lodged its own formal submission with the EPA regarding the proposed amendments under section 43A of the Environmental Protection Act 1986.
The Shire’s submission raises concerns regarding the proposed infrastructure corridor, including whether the mapping adequately reflects the current rural-residential subdivision and existing land uses, and the potential impacts on protected vegetation and Black Cockatoo habitat.
The submission also seeks further consideration of the environmental and community impacts of the proposed corridor and the alternatives considered by the proponent.
Council’s adopted position remains that Gonneville Project-associated infrastructure should not be located within the Shire of Chittering, and that alternative infrastructure and transport corridor solutions should be pursued outside the Shire.
The proposed amendments and public consultation information are available through the EPA Consultation Hub.
