The Proposal
Cornwall Coal Company Pty Ltd (Cornwall) proposed to construct and operate a Level 2 open cut mine capable of producing 150,000 tonnes per
year of coal at the ‘Cullenswood’ property. The proposed mine replaces a mine operating at the property.
Cornwall lodged a Development Application with a supporting Environmental Effects Report (EER) to the Break O’Day Council.
The application was referred to the Board of the Environment Protection Authority (the Board) for assessment under the Environmental Management and Pollution Control Act 1994 (EMPCA).
The EER was prepared by the proponent on the basis of the project specific guidelines for preparation of a EER which were provided by the
Board.
Public Exhibition of Documentation and Public Representations
A copy of the permit application, and of all plans and other documentation submitted with the permit application (including the EER)
were available for public inspection. The public comment period is now closed.
The proponent has been required by the Board to prepare an EER Supplement to address issues raised in public and Government Agency
consultation.
