Queensland government should get on with remaining approvals for Adani Carmichael

The independent assessment released today by CSIRO and Geoscience Australia clears the way for the Queensland Government to finalise the remaining approvals for Adani’s Carmichael mine and infrastructure project.

These approvals should take place as soon as possible so the mine can start providing highly paid, highly skilled job and supporting businesses across regional Queensland.

Australia will benefit from thousands of new regional jobs and long-term investment in the mine and rail infrastructure in Queensland.

Through mining taxes and royalties, 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.
