WHERE 
IT WILL BE

"Rising above the Mornington Peninsula, Arthurs Seat is the most familiar of all Port Phillip Bay landscape features. Its 314-metre summit, reached by road or on foot, gives spectacular views of the bay and Port Phillip Heads. On a clear day the view extends as far as the city skyline, the You Yangs and Mount Macedon." Visit Victoria

​

"The Mornington Peninsula is renowned for its nature-based lifestyle and gourmet food and wine experiences. Coastal, rural and natural settings are a key feature across the Mornington Peninsula." Mornington Peninsula Shire Economic Development Strategy 

​

The vibrant and lucrative tourism industry is reliant upon natural settings, parks and native bushland, beaches and fresh local produce. The quarry site sits within 600 m from the nearest vineyard accommodation. Digger's Seeds (of the Digger's Club, Australia's largest garden club and supplier of heirloom seeds) is only 850 m away.

There are a number of popular wineries within 1.5 km of the site (Foxey's Hangout, Main Ridge Estate, Abelli Estate), as are cherry farms and a local cheese producer. There is a popular brewery, cidery and distillery within 2 km. Dozens of wineries, accommodation venues and cafes are within a 3 km radius. (Local schools and kindergarten are even closer).

They will be subjected to quarry pollution including blasts, dust clouds, heavy vehicle traffic and emissions, noise, an ugly landscape and the constant noise emitted from the quarry crusher.
