As a matter of law, the Commonwealth Environment Minister has the power to determine whether a project involving irradiation proceeds. Under the Commonwealth's Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC), the jurisdiction of state authorities to determine this has been ousted by approval under Section 133 of the EPBC Act. I expressed my concerns to the then Commonwealth Minister for Environment, Senator Hill, but he decided to allow the matter to proceed despite my objections. I trust this information is of assistance.

  • Galilee Basin Housing Market Analysis
    Appendices | RP Data Galilee Basin Housing Market Analysis Galilee Basin Housing market analysis Prepared for Waratah Coal Considering the increased requirement for housing related to the proposed construction and operation of the Galilee Coal Project (Northern Export Facility) and associated railway and facilities, Waratah Coal have approached RP Data to provide an analysis of local housing market conditions and assess how the proposed influx of workers may impact on those conditions. Specifically this research has focussed on assessing and measuring housing market conditions and the extent of housing supply across relevant townships that are likely to be impacted by the proposed project. These townships include Alpha and Jericho which are the closest established residential areas to the proposed mine. Additionally the study has included the closest major service centre which is the town of Emerald, located about a 170km drive east of Alpha. The townships of Collinsville and Bowen have also been included in the study due to their proximity to the proposed loading facilities at Abbot Point. The analysis also provides a separate focus on two established communities outside of the Galilee Basin. The communities of Moranbah and greater Gladstone provide an interesting and important reference point about how commodity driven housing markets can be affected by surging labour demand.
