To prepare a submission for permitting, the developer will need to optimise the site layout (e.g.  where all building will be located etc. and what the size of all those buildings will be).  The developer also needs to decide how will mined material be conveyed, and therefore the proximity of stockpiles to processing facilities and also proximity waste storage facilities and product storage areas to the processing facilities is important.

Depending on the submissions received during the permitting process, it may be necessary to revise the design and any future expansion of the mining operation will require the site design and layout to be revised.
