Centennial Community Consultative Committee update

Centennial has just released two new briefing papers for community consideration.

Firstly is the Newstan Colliery Extension Project. It appears to be the similar  as "Awaba East" or "Newstan Lochiel" projects.  Centennial's information on the projects is here.

The second is the Centennial Northern Coal Services logistics Project. This is of importance because Centennial  wants to upgrade their  infrastructure which includes the new Mandalong Mine Private Haul Road. This is the road they put in 2009. More info is here.
 

The local community consultative committee representative is Robyn Charlton, contactable at westlakewrens@gmail.com
