Central Queensland Coal Project Approvals

Media release:

Managing Director of Central Queensland Coal, Nui Harris, said today the Environmental Assessment report for the Central Queensland Coal Project prepared by the Department of Environment and Science provides a pathway for mine operations.

Key areas to be addressed are project impacts to the receiving environment, groundwater resources and the Bruce Highway, which have been largely dealt with within the Environmental Impact Statement.

Central Queensland Coal will work closely with the Department to mitigate these impacts, with a view of applying for an environmental licence in the near future, to commence operations.
