Adbri - Sellicks Hill
The Sellicks Hill Quarry is located in Sellicks Hill and operated by Adbri. The site is approximately 3 km southeast of Aldinga Beach, covering an area of approximately 261 hectares. The quarry produces limestone, shale, marble and dolomite for construction material.
The site is regulated by the Department for Energy and Mining (DEM) under the Mining Act 1971 as well as the Environment Protection Authority (EPA) under the Environment Protection Act 1993 (EP Act). Adbri's licence is publicly available (EPA Licence #2052) and includes conditions relating to the management of dust, stormwater, waste and operations.
Protecting the health and wellbeing of all South Australians, especially those in communities located close to mining and quarrying operations, is a primary function of both DEM and the EPA.
As regulators, our role is to ensure that operators in our state adhere to all relevant legislation. Understanding and responding promptly to community concerns is vital to our ability to regulate effectively.
To protect communities from potential risks from airborne dust, overarching policies (Environment Protection (Air Quality) Policy 2016) apply to all operations in the state. Adbri must also adhere to site specific requirements in the combined Mine Operations Plan and Program for Environmental Protection and Rehabilitation (MOP/PEPR2015/005), approved by DEM. Failure to comply with either of these will result in regulatory action by DEM or the EPA.
The EPA is committed to transparency and providing up-to-date information about matters of concern to the local community.
