Push to change Karara Mining, Mid West Ports licensing over Geraldton 'black dust' pollution
In short:
A state government investigation into dust complaints in Geraldton has found magnetite from "industrial activities" as a contributor to dust polluting homes and businesses.
The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation says it will meet with the Mid West Ports Authority and Chinese-owned Karara Mining in a bid to change some operating licences conditions to reduce dust impact on the coastal community.
What's next?
The Department of Water and Environmental Regulation is still investigating other dust complaints.
