Bickham Coal-Mine Action Group
You'll find here information about the proposed Bickham Coal Mine.
This coal-mine has been under consideration since 2001. First
Bickham Coal Company asked permission to take out a bulk sample. This
permission was granted and the sample extracted. Click here to see the hole that's left.
Now the company has presented a water plan to the Department of Planning.
This is yet to be released to the public for consideration.
Many residents in our area believe - to extract coal at the very head of the Hunter Valley Catchment - is a bad idea.
As more information comes to hand we'll keep you informed.
