SAFETY CONCERNS: Local youngster Tom Green, 5, takes a stand against mining in the Felton Valley, south of Toowoomba
AMBRE Energy is refusing to kill off its $3.5 billion coal to liquids project and is now on a campaign to win the hearts and minds of the people of Felton Valley, near Toowoomba.
The project was scuppered by Premier Campbell Newman earlier this year when he said his Government would never approve the project, which is based on high-quality agricultural land.
However, suspicions were raised last week by Ambre conducting a survey in the Felton Valley in a bid to uncover the core community concerns about the project.
Ambre Fuel's new chief executive David Henderson said the company was aware it didn't have a social licence to operate.
Friends of Felton Ian Whan told the community he had written directly to Mr Henderson telling him that Ambre's plans for Felton "are dead and buried. It's over, done, finished".
