NSW Coal Jobs UpdateNSW coal mining jobs are more secure thanks to a decision last week by the Federal Court in Sydney.

The Federal Court�has thrown out a bid by an environmental group to stop work at Whitehaven’s Maules Creek mine, near Narrabri.

The Northern Inland Council for the Environment had sought an injunction to stop Whitehaven clearing forest areas in preparation for construction of the mine.

Whitehaven says Maules Creek is one of NSW’s last major undeveloped coal deposits that will double its production and last for at least 30 years.

Whitehaven`s managing director and CEO, Paul Flynn, welcomed the decision, adding that the project was still on target.

“This is obviously a positive result for the company,”� Flynn said.

“Coal production is on target for the first quarter of 2015.”�”

A court decision in November will establish whether the mine can go ahead.

To date, the investment in Maules Creek� has been $160-million of the $767 million in capital required to develop the resource. This has been spent in developing the coal handling and preparation plant as well as initial real estate purchases.

Whitehaven Coal management has said there will be a flurry of construction activity, starting with the construction of the rail spur to connect into the existing railway to the Port of Newcastle and subsequent rail loop to start in late 2013. The build time is expected to be around 12-months, with other construction works searching to be completed within the same period.

NSW Mining Jobs

The good news for mining jobs in NSW is that the Maules Creek project would employ around 340 workers and contractors during the build phase. Expectations are for 470 mining jobs to be created to run the mining operations. This includes extraction, handling and logistics. The coal mine will be run by permanent staff as well as selective contractors.
