The Environmental Protection Authority announced its decision on Monday 21 March 2011 that there is adequate information to demonstrate that the Vasse Coal Managements coal mining proposal is environmentally unacceptable. The Environmental Protection Authority is preparing its assessment report and recommendations to the Minister for Environment setting out the reasons for its decision. It is expected the Environmental Protection Authority will submit its report to the Minister for Environment within 6 weeks. It would be inappropriate for me to comment at this time while the EPA's assessment is in progress.
