Historical Coal Production and Exports

• Queensland exported 159.5 million tonnes of coal in 2008-09 • Queensland exported 183 million tonnes of coal in 2009-10 • Queensland exported approximately 162.6 million tonnes of coal in 2010-11 • Reduced exports in 2010-11 were due to the December 2010 & January 2011 wet

weather events.

Planned rail and port infrastructure projects - Western System


Rail (8.3-12Mtpa) 3.7 Jun 2014

Port (10-12Mtpa) 2 Jun 2014


Major coal infrastructure projects:

• Port of Abbot Point • Goonyella to Abbot Point Expansion Project (GAP Project) • Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET) • Surat Basin Railway • Wandoan Coal Mine Project • Connors River Dam • Galilee Basin projects


Port of Abbot Point – T2, T3 and MCF

• “X25” expansion: from 21-25 Mtpa (completed June 2009)

• “X30” expansion: from 25-30Mtpa (completed June 2010)

• “X50” terminal: to raise capacity from 25-50 Mtpa (expected completion September 2011)

• Owned by North Queensland Bulk Ports Corporation (NQBP)

• NQBP has commenced planning for a multi-cargo port facility adjacent to Abbot Point,

possibly servicing other industries potentially located on the Abbot Point State Development Area.


Goonyella to Abbot Point Expansion Project, or GAP Project (including Northern Missing Link)

• A new, 69 kilometre rail link between the North Goonyella and Newlands rail systems

• Upgrades and partial duplication of the Newlands system (including 175 kms of track between Newlands and Abbot Point, with links to the Abbot Point Coal Terminal)

• Construction commenced in May 2010

• On 23 May 2011, QR National began laying railway track on the NML

• The GAP project to stage X50 is expected to be completed by June 2012


Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal (WICET)

• To be located at the Port of Gladstone • Developers: WICET Consortium, comprising 16 coal companies • Proposed stages and expected completion dates: X30: June 2014 X55: 2018 X80 • Completion dates subject to final commitments from Blackwater

and Surat mining projects


Surat Basin Railway

• Surat Basin Rail Joint Venture (SBRJV): - Australian Transport and Energy Corridor (ATEC) - Queensland Rail (QR) - Xstrata Coal • SBRJV proposes to construct a 210 kilometre railway between Wandoan and Banana

to enable large scale mining and export of thermal coal from the Surat Basin

• Also involves rail upgrades in the Moura coal rail system

• Completion dates subject to commitment to related projects such as Wiggins Island Coal Export Terminal, and coal projects in the Surat Basin.


Wandoan Coal Mine Project

• Wandoan Joint Venture (WJV): - Xstrata Coal Qld Pty Ltd - ICRA Wandoan Pty Ltd - Sumisho Coal Australia Pty Ltd • Proposed new, 30 Mtpa, open cut thermal coal mine at Wandoan in the Surat Basin • Export through proposed Wiggins Island Coal Terminal at Gladstone, or a new (yet to

be approved) terminal proposed by Xstrata Coal (Qld) at Balaclava Island (40 km north of Gladstone)

• 12 November 2010: Coordinator-General conditionally approved the project. • Next stage: Federal Government assessment under the EBPC Act; Queensland

Government Mineral Resources Act. • Related projects: - Surat Basin Rail - Wiggins Island Coal Terminal - Nathan Dam - Moura/Aldoga Rail Link


Connors River Dam and Pipelines

• SunWater is the proponent for the Connors River Dam and Pipelines project

• Potential storage capacity of 373,700 ML

• Located on the Connors River near Mt Bridget, 235 kms nth west of Rockhampton and 130 kms east of Moranbah

• Water supply for Bowen Basin and Galilee Basin mining projects


Galilee Basin Projects: key proponents

• Hancock Coal – Alpha and Kevin’s Corner Projects – Each project comprises 30 Mtpa mine – 495 kms standard gauge railway to Abbot Point

• Waratah Coal – Galilee Coal Project (China First) – 40 Mtpa mine (2 x 20 Mt Longwall) – 447 kms standard gauge railway to Abbot Point – New port facilities at Abbot Point

• AMCI/Bandanna Energy Coal – South Galilee Coal Project – 15 to 20 Mtpa open cut, progressing to underground – Utilise proposed common user rail and port facilities

• Adani Mining Pty Ltd – Carmichael Coal Mine and Rail Project – 60Mtpa Coal Mine and rail facilities – Potential mine life of 150 years – Initially 2Mtpa (2014), to 60Mtpa (2022)

• Other proponents: Vale, Macmines


CoalPlan 2030

• Coordinating coal infrastructure planning and delivery across government and industry

• Ensuring security of supply • Exports from 2010-2030: 190Mt to 340Mt, or an 80% increase • Planning for the opening of the Surat and Galilee Basins • Investments in: - rail - ports - power - water - roads - housing - skills and services • CoalPlan website: http://www.deedi.qld.gov.au/cg/coal-infrastructure-strategic-plan.html
