Griffin Coal Containerised Coal Export Project Berth 5, Bunbury Port, Bunbury

Overview

The proponent is proposing to export up to  1.25 million tonnes per annum  of coal from Berth 5 of the Bunbury Port inner harbour. Coal will be loaded into containers at the Ewington mine site at Collie and transported by rail to the Picton Container Terminal.  Containers will then be transported by truck from the Picton Terminal to Bunbury Port on a 24 hour basis via the Port Access Road. The coal containers will be stacked on a designated hardstand area and loaded onto vessels for export every 10-11 days.

What happens next

Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.

The Chairman's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
