Collie coal mines merger plan announced with $60m investment
The Western Australian state government has announced a $60 million investment package for Collie while proposing to merge the town's two coal mines. The plan could extend coal mining beyond the 2030 shutdown date of state-owned power stations. New industries including graphite processing for lithium-ion batteries are being developed to transform Collie into a major industrial manufacturing and energy centre.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
