The Queensland Government has signed an agreement with Indian companies Adani and GVK for the use of an onshore site for dredge waste. The land was formerly owned by BHP Billiton. The construction of the Abbot Point coal terminal is expected to involve the disposal of three million cubic metres of dredge waste at the site. Initially, the companies planned to dump the waste in the waters of the Great Barrier Reef area

Indian billionaire Gautam Adani has been accused of using questionable labour practices in his native country. His Adani Group is involved in the development of coal mines in Queensland and the expansion of the Abbot Point coal shipping terminal. His companies allegedly used underage workers, provided workers with contaminated drinking water and used practices that damaged the environment in development projects in the province of Gujarat
