On 11 July 2011, the Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities decided that the proposed Dingo West Coal Project (an open cut coal mine approximately 6 km west of Dingo, Queensland) was not a controlled action under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999, provided it proceeded according to specified conditions. This decision meant no further EPBC assessment and approval was required, though state and local government approvals remained necessary. The delegate advised the proponent that undertaking the action differently from the described manner could attract penalties, and requested written confirmation within two weeks and progress reports within three months. The Department also notified Queensland's Department of Environment and Resource Management of the decision and indicated the project could be subject to audit compliance checks.
