A company owned by Clive Palmer has applied to the Queensland Government for a licence to build mines that would produce 40 million tonnes of coal a year.

A company owned by Clive Palmer has renewed plans to build a massive coal mine in Queensland's Galilee Basin that would dwarf Adani's Carmichael project.

The company has applied to the Queensland Government for a mining licence and environmental authorisation to build two open-cut pits and four underground mines to produce 40 million tonnes of coal a year. A 453-kilometre railway would also be required to transport the coal to the Abbot Point coal terminal owned by Adani.

Nature Refuge co-owner Paola Cassoni, who lives in the area, expressed concern about the impact on groundwater.
