In issuing lapsed notices on projects, environment minister says she has ‘zero tolerance’ for failure to supply required information
Both projects had stalled after applications were submitted nine years ago by Macmines and 12 years ago by Stanmore Resources.
The group also called for the minister to reject other coal projects that remain in the pipeline, such as the Isaac River coalmine.In 2018, the environment department sought further information from Macmines about threatened species and water. The same was done for the Stanmore Resources proposal a decade ago in 2013.
The minister issued lapsed notices this week. The companies can reapply but would have the start the assessment process from scratch.
