Copious amounts of effluent are discharged from mining, industrial and agricultural activities, and urbanisation. Large dams associated with these activities introduce further significant changes in the natural patterns of river flow. These human-induced hydrological impacts need to be carefully managed to sustain acceptable water quality and meet ecological flow requirements

Increasing demand for aggregates as a result of the transport infrastructure and housing boom in Melbourne prompted our client, Hanson — a leader in building and construction materials — to expand its current quarrying operations in Wollert, a residential growth area north of Melbourne.
