Djungan Traditional Owners Halt Coal Seam Gas Project at Ngarrabullgan
Djungan Traditional Owners Triumph as Coal Seam Gas Project at Ngarrabullgan is Revoked
In April 2015, a small group of Djungan Traditional Owners successfully thwarted Mantle Mining’s efforts to convert Ngarrabullgan into a coal seam gas field and coal mine. The permit for coal seam gas exploration and mining at Mt Mulligan, located 160km west of Cairns, was revoked. Additionally, an application for an authority to prospect coal seam gas at Mt Mulligan was withdrawn, emphasizing the significant victory achieved by the Djungan people, with support from the Lock the Gate Queensland campaign co-ordinator, Kate Dennehy.
