The Queensland Coal Mining Board of Inquiry has provided Part I of its report to the Minister for Resources, the Honourable Scott Stewart MP.
Board Members and Counsel Assisting recently visited Moranbah as part of its ongoing investigation.
Chairperson, Mr Terry Martin SC, sets out the reasons why public hearings in relation to Grosvenor mine had to be adjourned to next year.
It was expected that all of the evidence regarding the 27 methane exceedances and the serious accident relating to Grosvenor mine would be called in public hearings commencing 15 September 2020.
That is no longer possible.
The Queensland Coal Mining Board of Inquiry’s first tranche of public hearings has now concluded. A second tranche will commence Tuesday 15 September 2020.
From 4 August 2020 the Queensland Coal Mining Board of Inquiry will commence public hearings in respect of the Board’s Terms of Reference.
