Details of the Wallarah 2 Coal Project plans, objectives, construction and proposed operation of the mine are presented.

Preliminary findings of the detailed assessments on potential impacts associated with the W2CP construction and operation on environmental issues such as water catchments and supply, subsidence, flooding, groundwater, flora and fauna, noise, air quality, land use, visual impact, greenhouse gases, and traffic and transportation are available.

The Project will be subject to a comprehensive environmental assessment process.
Final Report released by the Independent Expert Panel.

The project will primarily generate road traffic movements from the construction and operation of surface mine facilities. It is anticipated that the duration of construction of the mine facilities at each of the sites will be approximately 1.5 to 3 years. All coal produced will be transported to the north by rail either to the Port of Newcastle or Power Stations along the route.

Transportation issues that require assessment and will be reported in the EA document include the site access requirements for personnel and materials, adequacy of existing road network, construction stage needs, road safety, road maintenance, effects of subsidence and floods, rail system capacity, noise and air quality.
