Professor Mary O’Kane AC, Chair of the Commission, nominated Gordon Kirkby (Panel Chair), Wendy Lewin, and Steve O’Connor to constitute the Commission determining the Bylong Coal Project. 1.1 Site and locality According to the Applicant’s Bylong Coal Project Environmental Impact Statement, dated September 2015 (EIS), the Project is a proposed open cut and underground thermal coal mine for a greenfield site in the Bylong Valley. -

P5997b-5997B Mr Vincent Catania; Mr Brendon Grylls
Extract from Hansard [ASSEMBLY — Tuesday, 18 September 2012] p5997b-5997b Mr Vincent Catania; Mr Brendon Grylls REGIONAL MOBILE COMMUNICATIONS TOWERS 492. Mr V.A. CATANIA to the Minister for Regional Development: I was pleased to see that the new mobile communications tower was constructed in the Gascoyne Junction in time for the Gascoyne Junction races this year. Can the minister update the house on the government’s construction and upgrading of towers in regional areas? Mr B.J. GRYLLS replied: I thank the member for North West for the question. The regional mobile communications project has been a really important and exciting project for regional Western Australia. Gascoyne Junction, which is in the member for North West’s electorate, was 177 kilometres away from mobile coverage, which is not very good if one has a mobile in Gascoyne Junction. However, it is good now because people’s mobiles now work. For a long time places such as Gascoyne Junction were just in a black hole for mobile coverage. Obviously now we are so dependent on the internet access we get through our phones as well, and this new tower enables that to happen. Gascoyne Junction is visited by a lot of tourists. It is really important for road safety that people have access to communications when they are travelling in regional areas. This mobile phone tower helps with that as well. The project will cost $40 million over three years. It is due to create more than 113 towers across regional Western Australia. It is well leveraged with the private sector. -
