The New South Wales Independent Planning Commission has rejected South Korean firm Kepco’s proposed Bylong thermal coal project. Kepco has so far spent $700 million on the project, which is located in the winemaking Mudgee region. It aims to mine 120 million tonnes of coal for export over 25 years, with the prospect that the NSW government would secure $290 million in mining royalties. In knocking back the Bylong project, the IPC cited concerns over its impact on groundwater and agricultural land, as well as noting that "greenhouse gas aspects of the project remain problematical".
