I have been employed with the Daracon Group / Rail Division for 7 years.
Martins Creek Quarry provides the materials crucial to many Rail Construction and Maintenance Jobs.

Please refer to attachment.

I am a long term employee of daracon, i have been employed continuously through hard times, through the mining industry slump and GFC.
I believe it is through Daracons diversity and opportunities like these, that i can continue to enjoy the stable employment it provides me.

I believe the proposed expansion of Martins Creek quarry should be approved. There are numerous government funded projects (as well as private) forecast for the area and this quarry provides competitive rates and therefore value for taxpayer funded works. Other clear benefits for the local community are employment and job security for both direct and non-direct personnel. Additionally the quarry has been in operation for approximately 100 years, why displace local material requirements to other sources?
