MORE PRIME FARMLAND TO BE LOST FOREVER Local farmer Dr Tanya Plant said she had previously raised concerns about the impact on agricultural land and was disappointed with the approval. Im pretty puzzled and very disappointed in how it looks, she said. It really does seem like they havent taken too much notice of our concerns. Theyre still allowing the mine to cause a lot of noise impacts on people, it still seems like the mines going to use an enormous amount of water. The coal mine employment benefits are very short-term compared to what would otherwise be a sustainable agricultural community forever, potentially. abc.net.au/news/2014-12-20/900m-acland-mine-expansion-approved-by-qld-govt/5981284
