Rocky Hill coal mine 'dead in the water' after company abandons appeal option

The proposed Rocky Hill mine's contribution to climate change was one of the key reasons cited for refusing the application … thus potentially opening up a new chapter in Australia's climate litigation history.

"Rocky Hill's dead in the water. To be honest I wasn't surprised that they didn't appeal the decision," Mr Williams said. "It's going to leave a hole in the economy because there was a lot of people out there that were in favour of the project going forward.Mr Williams said there had to be a way forward for the small town because tourism was not going to save the economy."It's co-existed in the Stratford now for 20-odd years so it's nothing new to the area, and actually Yancoal is closer to Stratford than what the Rocky Hill project was going to be to Gloucester.
