The New South Wales Planning Assessment Commission will shortly rule on Anglo American’s proposed Drayton South open-cut coal mine in the Hunter Valley. The commission has already rejected the project three times, and local thoroughbred studs are concerned about the impact of the mine on their operations. Coolmore Stud’s Tom ­Magnier has urged the State Government to either cancel or buy back the mining licence. Anglo American has been seeking approval for the mine since 2012.
