Dawson South stage 2 coal project
The management company for the Dawson South Stage 2 Coal Project is Anglo Coal Australia Pty Ltd. The proposal is for an open cut coal mine in Central Queensland's Bowen Basin on Mining Lease ML 5657. It is an extension of the existing Dawson South Stage 1 coal project. The predominant product will be a high-energy thermal coal to be exported over the 20 year plus life-of-mine. Initial production of up to five million tonnes per annum is proposed. The Moura Mine wash plant will be utilised for coal washing and product preparation. Coal will be transported approximately 220km by rail to the Port of Gladstone.
The Dawson South Stage 2 Coal Project is located within Banana Shire. The development will commence 10km northwest of the Theodore township and proceed in a southerly direction, adjacent to the Dawson River.
The department is managing the EIS process under Chapter 3 of the Environmental Protection Act 1994.
The EIS Assessment Report for the Dawson South Stage 2 Coal Project has been issued to the proponent and the EIS process is now completed.
