Regional Queensland set to benefit from Adani environmental approval

MCA welcomes the approval of the Adani’s Black Finch Management Plan by the Queensland Department of the Environment and Science.

The finalisation of the Management Plan is great news for jobs and stronger regional communities in central Queensland.

Approval of the Water Management Plan on 13 June will provide the final certainty which these communities have been asking for over many years.

The Carmichael mine will generate billions of dollars for taxpayers over decades to fund nurses, teachers, police, hospitals, roads and other services and infrastructure for Queensland families and communities.

The mine will also open up the North Galilee Basin for further development, adding to Australia’s rich history of mining exploration and development which has made our nation a global mining powerhouse.
