Orica reveals plans for new Hunter Valley chemical plant

Embattled chemical giant Orica is planning to build an ammonium storage facility in the Upper Hunter Valley at a former winery site. For more than 100 years Rosemount Estate was home to one of the country’s most recognisable wine labels but it could soon be owned by chemical producer Orica. The embattled company has lodged a development application to build an ammonium nitrate storage facility at the old Denman winery site, reports ABC Newcastle.
