Valeria Coal Project
Glencore has placed the Valeria coal project under review.
Location
The project area is located 27 kilometres north-west of Emerald in the Bowen Basin, Central Queensland.
Ownership
The project proponent is Valeria Coal Holdings Pty Limited, a subsidiary of Glencore Coal Pty Ltd (Glencore).
The proposed mine extends over three Mining Lease Application (MLA) areas – 700044, 700045 and 700055 – lodged with the Department of Resources (DoR) in 2019.
A further Specific Purpose MLA (700068) over the associated infrastructure corridor was lodged with DoR in 2021.
Environmental Authority applications
Two associated Environmental Authority (EA) applications were submitted to the Department of Environment and Science (DES) in 2019 for:
- MLA 700055 (previously referred to as the Valeria Project)
- MLAs 700044 and 700045 (previously referred to as the Valeria South Project).
The DES subsequently issued two notices requiring an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) process be completed.
Access to project information
For project information, refer to the Office of Coordinator General’s (OCG) website.
Key components of the project approvals
The IAS (PDF 13MB) provides information to enable the OCG to determine whether the project meets the criteria to be declared a ‘Coordinated Project’ under the SDPWO Act.
The ToR was being prepared in consultation with OCG, various state government departments, local government and DAWE to define the content requirements for the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and other approval application material. Finalisation of the Draft ToR was put on hold with the project.
