An environmental history check conducted on 15 November 2024 for the Vulcan South Coal Mine (EPBC 2023/09708, Queensland Coking Coal Pty Ltd) identified records of non-compliance with national environmental law. An open investigation (CR-24-004376) concerns alleged land clearing within the mine footprint constituting a possible section 74AA contravention of the EPBC Act, with no outcome yet available. A related matter (CR-23-002913) involved alleged clearing of approximately 33 hectares under the earlier Vulcan Complex Project (EPBC 2020/8676), which resulted in a directed variation to that approval following CEB investigation. Queensland state authorities also issued an Environment Protection Order and Directions Notice to the company in March and June 2024 for state law contraventions. The compliance check notes limitations in accessing historical databases beyond September 2021.
