Ledge Point Limesands

Ledge Point is situated within the South West Mineral Field, approximately 120 km north of Perth CBD along the Swan Coastal Plain, Wheatbelt Region, Western Australia. The site's coastal-proximate, low-relief terrain is characteristic of aeolian limesand deposits. Despite relative proximity to Perth, last-mile supply chain logistics remain operationally sensitive, as narrow coastal access corridors constrain heavy vehicle movements and increase lead times for critical consumables and equipment mobilisation.

The operation is classified as actively operating, with Ledge Point Lime Sands Pty Ltd as the primary operator, alongside historical environmental operator involvement from Adelaide Brighton Cement Ltd and Lime Industries Pty Ltd. The site functions under a continuous extraction model, generating sustained demand for:

• Diesel fuel supply contracts for mobile plant and haulage fleet
• Electrical infrastructure tied to regional grid substations for processing continuity
• Scheduled maintenance cycles for crushing and screening equipment
• Bulk transport agreements for agricultural lime and construction-grade limesand

Limesand extraction at Ledge Point relies on surface scraping and hydraulic mining techniques suited to unconsolidated coastal dune deposits. Material handling is intensive, requiring robust conveyor belt systems to transfer raw limesand from extraction faces to processing and stockpile zones. Key engineering dependencies include:

• Mobile dozers and scrapers for overburden stripping
• Screening and classification plant for product grading
• Conveyor infrastructure minimising double-handling losses
• Haul road maintenance under high-frequency truck movements

Operating within the Swan Coastal Plain demands rigorous Heritage compliance, given the cultural and environmental sensitivity of coastal dune systems in Western Australia. B2B procurement partners are increasingly required to demonstrate alignment with:

• Aboriginal Heritage Act obligations and site clearance protocols
• Partnerships with Indigenous-owned enterprises for land management and rehabilitation services
• Progressive rehabilitation commitments post-extraction per DMP conditions
• Environmental licensing under DWER for dust, noise and groundwater impact management
