The Land Court of Queensland has recommended that the State Government grant a mining lease to Adani for its proposed Carmichael coal mine. However, Land Court president Carmel MacDonald added that the mine’s approval should be subject to a number of conditions, and concluded that the economic benefits of the $A16.5bn project would be greater than its environmental impact. Environmentalists have sought to block the project.

Townsville mayor Jenny Hill is leading community support for the Adani coal mine, which is bogged down in litigation brought against the $A16.5 billion development by environmental activists. Townsville was hoping to be a hub for fly-in, fly-out workers. "We need the jobs," Hill said as Queensland businesses also threw their weight behind the mine, which will supply coal to India.
