The Land Court of Queensland has been told that the proposed Kevin’s Corner thermal coal mine should not proceed due to concerns about its impact on groundwater reserves. The $A4.2bn project is being undertaken by Gina Rinehart’s Hancock Coal and India-based GVK, which are facing opposition from environmentalists and farmers. The mine would export up to 30 million tonnes of coal each year.
