Waratah Coal has announced that the Queensland Government has declared the Galilee Coal Project (Northern Export Facility) a ‘Significant Project’ for which an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required. Waratah Coal’s Initial Advice Statement (IAS) to the Queensland Government describes the project involving 474km of heavy haul, dual gauge rail line from the Galilee Basin to the Abbot Point State Development Area (APSDA). The project involves the construction of a stockyard facility, linked to a new coal terminal incorporated as part of the Multi Cargo Facility (MCF) to be sited at the proposed expansion of the Port of Abbot Point. Waratah Coal plans to open up the undeveloped thermal coal province in the Galilee Basin, near Alpha in Central Queensland.
