Economic Impact Study: Abbot Point Coal Terminal Expansion and Development of a Multi-Cargo Facility
(258K)
This study is a preliminary economic impact assessment. It utilises a range of publicly available data regarding the scope and timing of the development, as well as information and assumptions based on similar developments and Ports Corporation of Queensland’s (PCQ’s) understanding of the necessary supporting infrastructure and associated facilities. 21 Jul 2008

Mourilyan Harbour and Abbot Point surveys for monitoring the endemic coastal biota and for detection of invading species.
(320K)
Mourilyan Harbour and Abbot Point were surveyed for endemic biota and introduced species in June and July 1998. The survey focussed on habitats in the vicinity of the berth at each port that were likely to be colonised by introduced species. The survey methodology broadly followed the sampling protocols outlined in Hewitt and Martin (1996) with some difications to allow for the specific environmental characteristics of the ports studied. 10 Apr 2007
Supplement Report to the Environmental Impact Statement
(293K)
The Stage 3 Expansion has been the subject of an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) prepared by WBM Pty Ltd (WBM 2006). This EIS has been prepared in accordance with the State Development and Public Works Organisation Act 1971 (SDPWOA). The EIS was released to government Referral Agencies and the public for a 6-week statutory review period commencing on the 11 March 2006. Submissions were invited and were to be forwarded to the Coordinator General (CG). Submissions subsequently received by the CG have been forwarded to PCQ for a response. This Supplement, which has been prepared by WBM on behalf of PCQ, thus provides the compilation of responses to the submissions made. 11 Dec 2006
