Moreton Resources will become active in the community over the next few months as it works on completing an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for its proposed Kingaroy coal mine.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, MRV Tarong Coal Project Manager Pete Jones released a community announcement on the company’s plans.<\/p>\n

Mr Jones said following finalisation of the Terms Of Reference for the company’s Kingaroy coal mine proposal in December 2016, Moreton has begun work on preparing the EIS.<\/p>\n

It expects to release the document for public consultation in early 2018.<\/strong><\/p>\n

“Over the next few weeks our team will be in the field collecting baseline environmental data for the EIS,” Mr Jones said.<\/p>\n

“These activities will be ongoing during the year and (will) build on data already collected.<\/p>\n

“The data will be used to inform impact assessments and, from these, impact management and monitoring strategies.”<\/p>\n

Mr Jones said the company will also be undertaking a number of engagement activities with project stakeholders and the community during the year.<\/p>\n
