House of Assembly Fifty-Third Parliament, Second Session (53-2) 53 2 Parliament of South Australia House of Assembly published Parliamentary Committees Parliamentary Committee on Occupational Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation: Site Visit to Hillgrove Resources Group Copper Mine and Kanmantoo Quarry Parliamentary Committee on Occupational Safety, Rehabilitation and Compensation: Site Visit to Hillgrove Resources Group Copper Mine and Kanmantoo Quarry Ms COOK House of Assembly Fisher Ms COOK (Fisher) (11:08): I move: That the 23^rd report of the committee, entitled Site Visit to Hillgrove Resources Group Copper Mine and Kanmantoo Quarry, be noted. Last year, as a committee, we made a concerted effort to get out to the regions and actually view some of the areas that we are focusing on within our inquiries. We took a trip to just outside of Murray Bridge and visited both the Hillgrove copper mine and Kanmantoo quarry. It was a very interesting exercise in contrast, with the Hillgrove copper mine being an enormous open-cut deep quarry, whereas the small Kanmantoo quarry is a very hand-laboured driven-type industrial family-owned quarry. The contrasts were enormous. We noted the issues being faced by both work environments and how they were being managed by the resources that they had available. It was really great to attend that also with people from SafeWork SA and get their insight into forward planning in terms of supporting the sectors. It was a really great experience, one that we have taken away and embedded into our reports. I table our thanks to MAQOSHC for supporting us in going out to these places and thank the house for noting our report. Motion carried.
