Newcastle coal export expansion plans

Newcastle is already the world's biggest exporter of coal, at about 80 million tonnes per year. As such, we are a major source of global greenhouse pollution, fueling global climate change. If the most catastrophic impacts of climate change are to be avoided, Newcastle coal exports are going to have to be addressed, and fast.

Yet, the NSW Government has just given the go-ahead to more than double Newcastle coal exports:

Proposed new coal loaders:

• expansion of the existing PWCS coal terminal at Kooragang
  
• contruction of a new Coal Export Terminal next door.

Proposed new coal mining:

• Caroona
• Anvil Hill
• Moolarben
• Abel
• Belmont
• Narrabri
• Mt Arthur expansion
  

Yes, we are aware that there are many more proposals than that. We'll be updating this list as we can. Please feel free to send us information on any coal mining or related proposals.
