Alcoa vice-president operations Australia, Rob Bear, told at the Peel Regional Growth and Major Project Summit in Mandurah on Tuesday, April 4, about the company’s plans to adopt a more sustainable approach towards mining.

Mr Bear said Alcoa already called on the State and Commonwealth for a full environmental review of its proposed bauxite mining areas and Pinjarra Alumina Refinery where it planned to increase production.

“Those plans are currently subject to the highest level of environmental assessment — a public environmental review, which we welcome,” he added.

The proposed mining area is near Jarrahdale. However, the size of the mining area will be reduced, resulting in about 1000ha less clearing, with plans to minimise some export volume to keep for local supply.

Mr Bear also announced at the summit that it would provide $400,000 to upgrade Langford Park, a popular eco and trails tourism site near Jarrahdale. He said, “Ultimately, we need to balance management of the natural environment while keeping a strong economy and safe and secure jobs.”

He added, “Continuing to operate sustainably is key and we must do that to sustain our business and the people that depend on it.”
