The proposal for the Drayton South coal project is before the independent Planning Assessment Commission for determination, he said.

“The government has not made any decisions in response to a determination as no determination has been made.

“We are advised that this is likely to occur in the first quarter of 2017.

 “Any government intervention in an independent assessment could improperly affect that assessment. It is inappropriate to comment further before the Commission makes a determination.”

 

Stokes said there had been “no change in government policy and any suggestions to the contrary are incorrect”.
