The NSW Minerals Council has welcomed the decision of the NSW Government to issue a Mining Lease for the job-creating Wallarah 2 Coal Project.

<h1>NSW Minerals Council welcomes Wallarah 2 Mining Lease</h1> <div class="NewsBody"> <p class="date">June 21, 2019</p> <div class="TextContent"> <div> The NSW Minerals Council has welcomed the decision of the NSW Government to issue a Mining Lease for the job-creating Wallarah 2 Coal Project.</div> <div>  </div> <div> “This is a very positive sign that the recently re-elected NSW Government is serious about backing regional jobs and investment during the term of this Parliament,” NSW Minerals Council CEO said today.</div> <div>  </div> <div> The project will be a huge boost to the Central Coast region. It will support more than 1000 direct and indirect jobs during construction, 300 direct jobs in the mining operation for the 28 year life of the mine, and another 500 indirect jobs in retail, building, transport and other sectors.</div> <div>  </div> <div> Over the life of the project, Wallarah 2 is forecast to drive over $600 million in economic turnover into the regional economy and hundreds of millions in royalties and taxes to the State Government to help fund hospitals, roads and schools for the people of NSW across the State.</div> <div>  </div> <div>  “Wallarah 2 has been one of the most scrutinised mining projects in NSW history, subjected to repeated assessment over a ridiculous 16 year period, including by independent scientific experts, the Department of Planning, and the Independent Planning Commission, before receiving a positive determination last year.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> “This project has also been used as a political football at successive state elections.

Today’s NSW State Budget demonstrates the importance of a strong mining sector to the NSW economy, with mining royalties at record levels and forecast to deliver the revenue needed to keep the NSW Budget in surplus over the forward estimates to 2022-23.

Keeping this pre-election commitment will help to protect mining jobs across regional NSW and make NSW a more attractive destination for global mining investment.”</div> <div>  </div> <div> Increased royalty revenue could be generated by the approval of more mining projects across NSW, which would also deliver more long-term mining jobs for regional NSW.</div> <div>  </div> <div> “There are around 25 mining projects currently in the NSW planning system with the potential to create or protect thousands of jobs and generate billions more in royalty revenue for the people of NSW. Approving these projects would deliver significant benefits for mining communities, for the NSW budget and for the NSW economy more generally.”</div> <div>  </div> <div> Today’s Budget also confirms the NSW Government’s ongoing commitment to regional mining communities through the Resources for Regions program funded from the Regional Growth Fund.</div> <div>  </div> <div> “The additional $100m committed to the $1.7 billion Regional Growth Fund is welcome, and we will be looking for a significant increase in funding made available for Resources for Regions as part of the Deputy Premier’s foreshadowed review of this important program," he said.</div> <div>  </div> <div> <strong>Contact: Hugo Robinson | <a href="mailto:hrobinson@nswmining.com.au">hrobinson@nswmining.com.au</a> | 0409 758 734 | 02 9274 1419</strong> </div> </div> </div>

The NSW Minerals Council supports the proposed repeal of 1986 legislation banning uranium mining and nuclear power for electricity generation in NSW.

<h1>Time to repeal NSW ban on uranium mining and nuclear power</h1> <div class="NewsBody"> <p class="date">June 12, 2019</p> <div class="TextContent">The NSW Minerals Council supports the proposed repeal of 1986 legislation banning uranium mining and nuclear power for electricity generation in NSW.  <div>  </div> <div> “The NSW uranium and nuclear ban is out of date and out of touch, and it’s repeal is long overdue,” NSW Minerals Council CEO, Stephen Galilee, said today. </div> <div>  </div> <div> “The ban on exploring for uranium was repealed in 2012, yet the mining ban remains, creating the absurd situation where it’s legal to explore for uranium in NSW, but illegal to mine it if found.”  </div> <div>  </div> <div> Mr Galilee said the Private Members Bill to be introduced into NSW Parliament by the Hon Mark Latham MLC would reverse this ridiculous situation and follow the example of other states. </div> <div>  </div> <div> “It makes no sense that if you step across the NSW border into South Australia it’s legal to mine uranium, as it is in Western Australia and the Northern Territory, yet not here in NSW.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> Removing the ban on uranium extraction has the potential to open up a new export opportunity for our State, creating jobs, investment and royalties for the people of NSW.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> Similarly, the ban on nuclear power for energy generation undermines any genuine technology-neutral approach to energy policy in NSW. </div> <div>  </div> <div> “A true technology-neutral approach to energy policy does not declare one particular form of electricity generation ‘illegal’, especially a source of energy generation that is widely used in many other countries around the world.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> “Nuclear power is part of the energy mix in some of the largest global economies, including many held up as shining examples of having low emissions electricity. It doesn’t make sense that we aren’t even able to consider it as a part of our energy mix here.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> “We commend NSW Deputy Premier John Barilaro for his strong interest on this issue and hope his public intervention signals a new opportunity for consideration of nuclear power in NSW.” </div> <div>  </div> <div> “Households and businesses across NSW are struggling to pay their power bills. NSW is facing a serious shortfall in electricity generation in 2022 when AGL closes the Liddell power station.  If we’re serious about finding a solution to these issues, no form of generation should be off the table,” Mr Galilee said.  </div> <div>  </div> </div> </div>
