The government s Environmental Impact Assessment (EIS) report was released on Wednesday, April 28. Director of technical and assessment services for the Department of Environment and Science Christopher Loveday wrote that while he considered the project would significantly contribute to the state s economy, it did present a number of significant risks. The director considered the project presented a number of unacceptable risks that could not be adequately managed or avoided, due to the location of the proposed mine and the lack of effective mitigation measures proposed by Clive Palmer s company, Central Queensland Coal Pty Ltd. The project presents a number of significant risks, due to its location, particularly its proximity to important environmental values, including the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park and World Heritage Area, the Broad Sound Fish Habitat Area, Tooloombah Creek, Deep Creek, the Styx River Estuary, and associated groundwater resources and groundwater depe

An independent scientific group has raised environmental concerns over Clive Palmer s proposed Central Queensland Coal project near St Lawrence. The project, proposed for Styx Basin, consists of an open cut operation and rail connection to the Queensland Rail North Coast Line. The project intends to mine two million tonnes per annum of run-of-mine coal, which when processed will produce 1.5 million tonnes per annum of semi soft coking coal. There are plans for the proposed mine to eventually ramp up production to 10 million tonnes a year. Central Queensland Coal was first proposed four years ago, but the company s latest Environmental Impact Assessment amendment has drawn concern from the independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development.
