Pratten resident of nearly 20 years Bevan Springate says he wouldn’t like to see the community turned into a mining hub.
WHILE a decision is being reached within the walls of State Government over mining permits on the western rim of Warwick, talk is mounting in the local area about what the future holds for landowners.
Ambre Energy applied to the Bligh government on August 29 last year for coal exploration permit EPC2784, which includes the Pratten district.
Business Development Manager Matthew Adams said if granted, the permit would allow Ambre to see if there was coal in the area and if so, whether it was minable.
He assured residents the mining company would not be drilling near residential areas.
