Description

Western Desert Resources Limited proposes to construct and operate an iron ore mine within the Roper Bar Iron Ore Province, located in the Gulf Region of the Northern Territory. As part of the environmental process, all major developments in the NT are required to consider mosquitoes during the preparation of Environmental Impact Statement or Public Environment Reports, to ensure new development does not create new mosquito breeding sites, and also to protect the health of workers. Medical Entomology of the Centre for Disease Control was subsequently commissioned by EcOz Environment Services to conduct a biting insect assessment of the mine site. The biting insect assessment was to include monthly trapping over a 12 month period, and a field investigation to identify actual or potential mosquito breeding sites., Made available via the Publications (Legal Deposit) Act 2004 (NT).,
