Dandaragan Family Ethos About Respect To Animal
When Dandaragan farmers David and Joan Cook made the decision in 2000 to begin farming organically, quite a few eyebrows were raised locally.
The home farm, Noondel, had been in the Cook family since the 1870s and the Cooks had always been conventional farmers, raising cattle and sheep and cropping.
But by the 1990s the couple had begun to question the wisdom of continuing that way.
They felt they were fighting a losing battle with more and more chemicals needed to control weeds and parasites. They were also increasingly concerned about the number of their friends and neighbours getting ill. They began to look for alternatives and finally in 2000 declared themselves organic, founding the brand Dandaragan Organic Beef. They no longer use pesticides, artificial fertilisers, hormones or antibiotics.
Daughter and manager Tracey Cook, whose husband Richard Cooper also works in the business, says that questions were certainly asked when her father first ripped up a pasture paddock to plant perennial summer grasses.
The family has 2954ha in the home farm and a second property closer to the coast. Now half the properties are covered in perennial grasses, providing year-round feed.
“We usually get some summer rain but even a heavy morning dew will have enough water to keep the summer grasses kicking along,” Tracey Cook said.

They run Angus, Murray Greys and Square Meaters, a compact Australian breed with high meat yield. The cattle for market are chosen once a week and are usually about two years old.
They are taken to an abattoir in Gingin, about 40 minutes away.
In the very beginning Dandaragan Organic Beef was ahead of the market. There was limited demand for certified organic beef and they could only find two butchers who wanted to take the meat. So for a few years David and Joan packed the beef into family packs which they loaded into a freezer trailer and delivered around Perth.
But word spread and butchers started calling and they now have stockists across the State. As WA’s largest producer of certified organic beef, they also sell to restaurants through Mondo Butchers. Home delivery of bulk orders of the grass-fed beef is also available.
It is proudly a nose-to-tail operation, so an organic pet food supplier is also among the stockists.
“We keep some offal that the butchers do not take and we have people who dehydrate the liver so we do organic liver treats,” Cook said. “Pretty much everything gets used. Bones go into bone broth these days.
“That is very much our ethos: it shows the greatest respect to the animal if you can use it all up.”
She said they joined Buy West Eat Best when Mondo wanted to do some cryovac packaging to showcase the brand more.
“Putting the Buy West Eat Best sticker on the packs was a way of differentiating our product from east coast brands. It is from one farm, one family and WA grown.”

Mammoet lands work on Badgingarra wind farm
Mammoet lands work on the 130MW Badgingarra wind farm
Installation specials Mammoet has landed work from fellow contractor Deugro to transport turbines for the 130MW Badgingarra wind farm, in Western Australia.
Under the deal, with an undisclosed value, Mammoet will handle the transport of 37 3.6MW Siemens Gamesa turbines to the location of the project, which will be located 185 kilometres north of Perth.

The turbines will travel 270 kilometres from the Australian Marine Complex to the remote location, Mammoet said.
“The 63 meter long blades are the longest cargo to be transported out of the Perth metro area. Working closely with local road authorities, Mammoet has carefully developed a logistics plan to ensure the safe and efficient transportation of components while adhering to all road regulations,” the group said.
“Only one blade can be transported per weeknight and road civil modifications have been made at seven locations to provide a safe passage through.”
Construction of the wind farm commenced in November 2017 and is expected to be complete in early 2019, Australian developer APA Group said. The project is being built just to the north of APA’s 80MW Emu Downs wind farm, and the recently completed 20MW Emu Downs solar farm.
The $315m APA development is underpinned by an agreement with Alinta Energy for the purchase of all the energy, and the Large Scale Renewable Generation Certificates generated by the wind farm through to December 2030.
Parkway Minerals and the Dandaragan Trough
Parkway Minerals looking to partner at Dandaragan Trough as it develops Lake Barlee
Parkway Minerals NL (ASX:PWN) managing director Patrick McManus speaks with Proactive Investors about the company’s two fertiliser projects in Western Australia, one being the Dandaragan Trough, and its proprietary K-Max® potassium extraction process.
Aircore drilling is underway at the large-scale Lake Barlee Potash project. At the more advanced Dandaragan Trough Project, the company’s patented K-Max® potassium extraction process is set to add value to the large greensand deposits there, according to scoping studies. Parkway Minerals is looking to take on a partner to develop that project, beginning with the Dinner Hill resource, as it focuses on developing Lake Barlee.
The K-Max® process could potentially be licensed to extract a number of elements from micaceous minerals.
Additionally, Parkway Minerals recently increased its stake in Davenport Resources (ASX:DAV) from 26% to 34%. Davenport Resources through its 100% owned subsidiary, East Exploration Gmbh, is exploring for potash in the highly prospective South Harz region of central Germany. “There’s a lot more work to be done on that project, but it’s really turning up some very strong positive resources,” says McManus.
Parkway Minerals leveraged to growing demand for fertiliser products
The company has a 26% interest in highly-rated German potash assets, 7.3 million Lithium Australia NL (ASX:LIT) shares and $2 million in cash.

Parkway Minerals NL (ASX:PWN) has a portfolio of Australian projects aimed at supplying the fertiliser industry and is leveraged to the German potash assets of Davenport Resources (ASX:DAV).
The company owns 19 million Davenport shares, which has exploration and mining licences in central Germany, including the South Harz project.
Three mining licences have recently been purchased from the German government.
The licences were extensively explored in the pre-unification era and substantial Soviet-era resources are being reported, as data is reviewed and evaluated.
Comparison shows Davenport’s potential
A comparative analysis has established Davenport’s enterprise value (EV) for the attributable potassium oxide resource at just US$0.07 per tonne of K2O.
The analysis shows Sirius Minerals PLC (LON:SXX) has an EV of US$4.00 for the Woodsmith project in the U.K. and Highfield Resources Ltd (ASX:HFR) has an EV of US$3.98 for the Muga project in Spain.
Danakali Ltd (ASX:DNK) has an EV of US$1.28 for the Colluli project in Eritrea while and Kore Potash Ltd (ASX:KP2) is the same at US$0.07 for the Kola Project in the Republic of Congo.
READ: Parkway Minerals to benefit from German potash resource
Davenport is aiming to convert an historical resource estimate of 455 million tonnes at an average grade of 15.5% potassium oxide into a JORC-compliant resource.
Patrick McManus, Parkway managing director, said: “The mining licences are a legacy of a very large potash industry based on the South Harz field, which was part of the historic German Democratic Republic.
“Davenport has announced that a UK-based company, with a track record of converting Soviet-era resources to JORC 2012-compliant resources, Micon International, has been engaged.
“Micon is reviewing the data for some of the licence areas and is expected to report before the end of March.”
The region has a long production history and Davenport has access to an extensive database covering the 650 square kilometre package of exploration and mining licences
Review of all data
Davenport is undertaking a review of all data on three mining licences recently purchased, which includes historical drilling results from over 100 drill holes, and is working with world-renowned potash consultants based in the South Harz region.
This exploration was done to a high standard and would cost more than €100 million and many years of drilling to acquire today.
Demand for fertiliser products is on an upward trend as food demand increases globally.
Food demand is predicted to double by 2050 due to population growth, diminished arable land and dietary changes.
READ: Parkway Minerals defines drill targets with seismic survey
Parkway Minerals is focused on developing the Lake Barlee Salt Lake Potash Project northeast of Southern Cross in Western Australia, where it is expecting to commit to drilling in the March quarter.
McManus said: “The Lake Barlee project shows some good features for a potash brine extraction project.
“Geophysics indicate the presence of deep channels, which may act as a reservoir of brines.
“Surface samples and sampling by previous explorers have indicated significant levels of potassium.
“Our cash position will fund considerable exploration activity on this project, building on the success of this first drilling program.”
Parkway also owns the Dandaragan Trough Project north of Perth, containing extensive greensand deposits rich in potash and phosphates in Western Australia’s Perth Basin.
Parkway Minerals granted US patent
Parkway Minerals granted US patent for its potassium extraction process
K-Max process has the potential to lower the cost of sulphate of potash production from glauconite.
The process could be useful for the Dandaragan Trough

Parkway Minerals NL (ASX:PWN) has been granted a US Patent for its K-Max® potassium extraction process.
The K-Max process was developed to treat potassium rich minerals, including glauconite, to produce sulphate of potash (SOP).
Parkway has a major land holding over one of the world’s largest known glauconite deposits, covering over 1,050 square kilometres in the greensand deposits of the Dandaragan Trough.
Large, near surface deposits with existing infrastructure
The Dandaragan Trough in Western Australia’s Perth Basin contains substantial deposits of greensands, consisting principally of a mixture of quartz sand and glauconite.
Parkway managing director Patrick McManus said: “Granting of this patent, and others in key countries, confirms the potential of the K-Max® process.
“It is particularly valuable to the Dandaragan Trough, where we have very large, near surface deposits, with existing infrastructure, close to export ports in a region that imports 90% of its phosphate and potash needs.”
The company owns 37.2 million shares (34%) of Davenport Resources, which owns a potash exploration project in the South Harz region of Thuringia, Germany.
Davenport recently revealed an inferred resource of 577 million tonnes at 12.1% potassium oxide within its Ebeleben Mining Licence.
Parkway Minerals’ shares up on back of increase in Davenport Resources’ potash resource
17 Apr 2018
Shares in Parkway rallied 8% after the increase in Davenport’s potash resource was announced.
Parkway Minerals NL (ASX:PWN) is a beneficiary of Davenport Resources Ltd’s (ASX:DAV) increase in its potash resource at the Mühlhausen-Nohra Mining Licence in Germany.
Parkway owns 37 million shares in Davenport, representing a stake of about 34%.
Release of an inferred resource
On April 10, 2018, Davenport announced an historical potassium oxide resource for two additional sub-areas of the Mühlhausen-Nohra Mining Licence, which is part of the South Harz project area.
This adds to the resource announced in November 2017 for the Mülhausen sub-area.
Parkway managing director Patrick McManus said: “Following the recent announcement of an inferred resource on the Ebeleben Mining Licence, this work confirms the potential of the mining licences within the South Harz project.”
115 million tonnes of potassium oxide
Previous work carried out at the Mühlhausen sub-area delivered an historical resource of 234 million tonnes at 14.4% potassium oxide for 33.8 million tonnes of contained potassium oxide.
This brings the total of the known historic resource lying within the Mühlhausen-Nohra Mining Licence to 115 million tonnes of contained potassium oxide.
This data will allow Davenport to prioritise areas for further exploration with the aim of establishing the project as Europe’s largest unmined potash field.
Parkway’s shares traded up 8% in response to the news.
Westpork Piggery in Dandaragan Shire on Hold
WA piggery on hold leaving 50 regional jobs in the balance as pork prices hit decade low
Updated earlier today at 04:26 May 30 2018
Pork prices at a decade low have forced Western Australia’s largest pig producer, Westpork, to shelve its plans for a $21 million, 68,000-head piggery near Moora, north of Perth.
In March last year Westpork revealed its plans for the piggery, located in the Shire of Dandaragan and 32 kilometres from Moora, saying it was to meet rising demand from the domestic market and would create 50 jobs in the region.

However pork spot prices have reduced in that time to now sit at a level below the cost of production for some farmers.
Westpork CEO Neil Ferguson said that given current market conditions, the company had made the decision in conjunction its with key customers.
“There are some producers doing it tough at the present time in terms of having difficulty finding a home for their pigs, and in that environment that’s the reason we have put the project on hold.”
“The majority of our pigs are sold on long-term arrangements,” Mr Ferguson said.
“Our key customers, including the retailers, have been very supportive of the arrangements that we have in place.
“From that point of view, Westpork is somewhat isolated — but we’re not immune to the downturn because we do have some pigs above contract.”
Mr Ferguson said the market and contracts from customers would dictate when the Moora piggery plans would be reactivated, which would be built on a 1,500 hectare farm.
“We’ve done some preliminary work there,” Mr Ferguson said.
“We’ve secured a water resource and put some infrastructure in there, but the balance of the project is really just sitting there waiting for us to pull the trigger.
More export markets needed
About 20 per cent of pork produced in WA is exported to Singapore, but the majority is used as fresh pork in the domestic market.
Mr Ferguson said increasing export markets would provide a short term solution to the oversupply problem, but would also help create a more stable market in the longer term.
“Ideally the industry would like access to the China market, I know APL (Australian Pork Limited) have been doing some work there,” he said.
West Australian Agriculture minister Alannah MacTiernan said she was deeply concerned that WA pig producers could not access China, one of the biggest pork consumers in the world.
“This is very disappointing for the Dandaragan region,” she said.
“This is, I would suspect, in part affected by the fact that we have not been able to develop an export protocol with China — and that is directly referrable to the behaviour of the Federal Government and using China as a political football.
“The way the Federal Government has been behaving towards China has had serious consequences for primary producers here in this state, and that there has been, not withstanding the free trade agreement, basically work on the pig meat protocol has virtually stopped.”
Understandable but disappointing
Westpork’s Neil Ferguson said that while the longer term outlook for the pork industry was strong, he expected prices would start to improve towards the end of 2019.
“The underlying demand for pork is good and the fundamentals behind the industry are sound in that consumption at consumer level is rising at three to four per cent per annum and has been consistently, from a demand perspective the industry has a bright future,” he said.
“In the short term, what’s happened is producers were seeing record prices back in 2015–2016, and across the country producers expanded their production base in response to that price signal, and we’ve overshot the supply side of the equation.”
Moora shire president Ken Seymour said it was disappointing news for his community, which is still fighting the State Government’s plans to close its local residential college.
“Country towns, there is always room for employment, considering we will lose up to 11 employees with the Moora college if it closes, to have an extra 50 jobs in a shire such as Moora, would be a great opportunity.”
Alinta Plans Rapid Expansion into Renewable Energy
Alinta plans rapid expansion into renewable energy
By Cole Latimer 15 January 2018
Alinta Energy wants at least one in five of its customers powered entirely by renewable energy by 2020.
The company says it plans to bring a gigawatt of new renewable energy online following its acquisition of Victoria’s Loy Yang B brown coal-fired power station late last year.
It finalised the $1 billion acquisition of Loy Yang B on Monday, ensuring that the plant – which supplies nearly a fifth of Victoria’s energy – continues to operate, and is now targeting a rapid expansion of its renewable energy assets by 2020.
“We’re targeting in excess of 1000 megawatts of renewable energy in the next three to four years,” Alinta Energy chief executive Jeff Dimery told Fairfax Media.
This is the same level of generation as the Loy Yang B power plant.
“For every five new customers were are signing up, one will be supplied entirely by renewables,” he said.
A future without coal-fired power stations is inevitable

Last year it entered into a number of solar and wind power purchase and offtake agreements, including a 12-year offtake agreement with the APA Group which underwrites the construction of the 130-megawatt Badgingarra wind farm in Western Australia.
In Queensland, Alinta is targeting about 200 megawatts of new solar energy, and up to 400 megawatts of wind power in New South Wales.
“Alinta Energy is committed to meeting its renewable energy vision by 2020, and the new scale of Loy Yang B will accelerate our plans,” Mr Dimery said, arguing the plant would allow Alinta to expand its presence across the country.
“We have a number of planned renewable energy projects across Australia and we are confident that we will meet or exceed our target of 1000 megawatts of owned or contracted generation by 2020.”
Despite the hot weather forecast for Victoria later this week, Mr Dimery said he was confident that Loy Yang B had the capability to continue providing power in the heat.
“There are no issues expected ahead with the forecast hot weather,” he said.
Fellow Latrobe Valley brown coal-fired power stations, Loy Yang A and Yallourn, have experienced a number of generator failures over this past month.
The Loy Yang B power station is scheduled to close in 2043, with the nearby Yallourn brown coal-fired power station expected to close in 2032.
However, Yallourn’s operator, Energy Australia, has applied for a licence to extend the lifespan of the coal mine and power plant, potentially up to 2050.

Proposed Badgingarra Solar Photo Voltaic Power Facility
Joint Development Assessment Panel, Proposed Solar Photo Voltaic Power Facility near Badgingarra 40km from Dandaragan.
Location: Lot 54 Cnr Bibby and Yerramullah Roads, Nambung Badgingarra in Dandaragan Shire
Applicant: Masterplan acting on behalf of the APA Group
Folder Path: Development Services Apps / Development
Application / 2017 / 42
Date: 4 December 2017

PROPOSAL
The applicants (owners and operators of the existing Emu Downs Wind and Solar energy facilities and the proposed Badgingarra Wind Farm facility) in the Dandaragan region are seeking planning approval for up to 50 megawatt photovoltaic (PV) solar power generating facility at the Badgingarra Wind Farm facility within the Yerramullah Park Farm, Dandaragan shire.
The application is required to be determined by the Midwest/Wheatbelt (central) Joint Development Assessment Panel (JDAP).
BACKGROUND
The proposed solar power facility is to be located at the south-east corner of Lot 54 Yerramullah Road fronting Bibby Road and Yerramullah Road, approximately 28 kilometres directly east of Cervantes and approximately 46 kilometres northwest of Dandaragan within the locality of Nambung. The proposal borders the locality of Badgingarra and is part of the proposed wind farm which is located within the localities of Hill River, Badgingarra and Nambung in the Dandaragan region.
An underground cable will link the facility through lot 54, traversing Cadda Road and connect to the Badgingarra Wind Farm substation within Lot 50 Yeramullah Road to the north. The subject area generally comprises clear paddock although an area of approximately 1.2ha of poor quality remnant vegetation remains within the proposed development site.
While the subject area is south-west of the Badgingarra National Park it is adjacent to a vegetation corridor on the eastern side of Yerramullah Road which links directly to the National Park in the Dandaragan shire. The balance of the land to the west is cleared while the southern boundary of the proposed development area is formed by Bibby Road and the eastern edge by Yerramullah Road, Dandaragan shire. The subject area is bordered to the north and the majority of its western edge by a creek line and associated remnant vegetation. The major component will be the installation of sufficient solar panels to generate up to approximately 50MW of power. This will incorporate blocks of solar panels each equivalent to around 10MW, arranged in rows occupying an area of around 350m – 380m in width by 700 to 800m in length in total, covering approximately 145 hectares overall.
The whole facility will be enclosed in a perimeter fence and surrounded by an internal access road. PV Panels will be setback a minimum of 25m from the property boundaries. The minimum distance from the creek to the perimeter fence will be 30m with the PV arrays a minimum 60m from the creek.
A Traffic Shipping and Access Plan will be completed to confirm proposed transport routes along which the majority of traffic from relevant ports and local manufacturers will travel. A road condition survey will form part of this and any maintenance work required to public roads as a result of transport activity will be undertaken by the project contractor.
COMMENT
The subject land is currently zoned ‘Rural’ under the Shire’s Local Planning Scheme No. 7 (LPS7). The adjoining land uses are also zoned ‘Rural’ with the exception of the adjacent lot to the north east, which is a Nature Reserve, which is reserved for ‘Conservation’ purposes.
The proposed PV solar power facility is a use not specifically mentioned in the Zoning Table. As such the Local Government may:
- a) Determine that the use is consistent with the objectives of the particular zone and is therefore permitted;
- b) Determine that the use may be consistent with the objectives of the particular zone and thereafter follow the advertising procedures of clause 64 of the deemed provisions in considering an application for development approval; or
- c) Determine that the use is not consistent with the objectives of the particular zone and is therefore not permitted;
The objective for the Rural zone is follows;
“to provide for a range of rural activities such as broadacre and diversified farming so as to retain the rural character and amenity of the locality, in such a way as to prevent land degradation and further loss of biodiversity.”
More specific guidance is provided in the Shire’s draft Local Planning Strategy which was adopted by Council for advertising on 28 July 2016. Previous approvals for solar farms (Emu Downs and Waddi) have been determined by the Council and Joint Development Assessment Panel as meeting the above objective.
The following sections of the draft Local Planning Strategy support such applications;
Table 4: Actions – service infrastructure
Action – Assess applications for wind farms and other alternative energy infrastructure, having regard to visual landscape issues and other relevant matters set out in Planning Bulletin 67 – Guidelines for Wind Farm Development.
5.4.3 Alternative Energy
There is significant potential for the Jurien Bay region to become an important area for renewable energy production projects. Wind power generation is already proving to be popular within the Jurien Bay hinterland with several projects in operation or planned. The first WA utility scale solar photovoltaic farm is also been developed north of Jurien Bay confirming the potential for solar power in the region.
There is adequate power generation within the region but the key issue for the shire is the transmission and distribution of power.
The investment by energy producers in the shire may encourage energy intensive agricultural or other industries that use significant amounts of energy to locate in the area.
In addition, the Rural Planning Strategy 2012 which will be superseded by the draft Local Planning Strategy supported such proposals as stated in Objective 4 of section 7.4.2.1 of the Strategy:
“Support appropriate non-rural uses where they are compatible with adjoining and nearby rural uses, environmental attributes and landscape to complement the primary productive use of the land where a site contains remnant vegetation and other environmental features or lacks realistic potential for agricultural use the Council will consider the proposed non-rural uses as the predominant use on its merits.”
An existing planning permit is in place for the development of the Badgingarra Wind Farm which would include the construction of wind turbines, access tracks, underground cable, an overhead transmission line, an onsite substation and a facilities building, all in the direct vicinity of the proposed solar plant site. The proposed solar plant would be integrated with the Badgingarra Wind Farm to create an integrated renewable energy project creating synergies during both construction and operation.
As the proposed solar facility is adjacent to areas identified as bushfire prone the requirements of SPP3.7 will apply. A bush fire plan has been prepared and is provided in the attachments.
Reflection or glare from photovoltaic solar panels is minimal as they are designed to collect and absorb sunlight, not to reflect it.
No issues have been identified by aviation stakeholders consulted and it is noted that photovoltaic solar panels are installed at airports in Australia and around the world.
The following factors will ensure that the construction and operation of the solar plant project will not create an unacceptable fire management risk:
- The proposed solar plant site is cleared farmland.
- Cables connecting the PV arrays within the solar plant site will be located underground.
- There is very good access to the proposed solar plant site;
Given the above information, it is the Planning Officers recommendation that Council endorse the proposal with recommended conditions as set out in the Responsible Authority Report (in attachments) to be presented to the Joint Midwest/Wheatbelt (Central) Joint Development Assessment Panel for this application.
