The Proposal
The Cornwall Coal Company Pty Ltd is proposing
an extension to the existing Cullenswood No. 2 Mine open cut pit. The extension will utilise the existing ROM
pad, amenities block, office block and stockpile area. The final area of extraction is expected to
yield up to 15,000 tonnes of coal and when started would likely be completed
within a 2 to 3 month campaign. The
proposal also includes rehabilitation where coal extraction has occurred
outside the permitted extraction area.
