USQ academics Dr. Noeleen McNamara (Senior Lecturer in Law) and Dr. Bob Zhao (Lecturer in Law) recently published a comment on Adani Mining Pty Ltd v Land Services of Coast and Country Inc & Ors, [2015] QLC 48 in the Australian Resources and Energy Law Journal (Volume 35, Issue 1, 2016). Here is the abstract:"The Carmichael Coal Mine and Rail Project comprises a greenfield open cut and underground coal mine and associated mine processing facilities, and a 450 km railway linking the mine with Abbot Point. The proponent is Adani Mining Pty Ltd (Adani), a subsidiary of the Adani Group, based in Ahmedabad, India. The mine is located in the Galilee Basin, the site of a number of proposed coal mines, and when fully developed is to be by far the largest coal mine in Queensland with a proposed production of up to 60 Mtpa and an estimated life of approximately 60 years. Current reserves total in excess of 3 billion tonnes of thermal coal. The estimated investment for the project is between $10 and $14 billion."
