There are known health problems living near Gladstone's coal mining facility, and tonight the community of Burnett Heads were meant to be placated by the Brisbane Port Authority and Northern Energy to gain support for a coal loading facility at Burnett Heads Port; receiving some 35 double-B trucks every 24 hrs from a new coal mine near Aldershot (near Maryborough).
It is a case of Not In My Backyard.
Economics were raised that the Bundaberg Port is under-utilised, well, I don't care, and think alternative strategies for regional growth should be explored.
The impact to the reef, local community health, property values, future industry are enormous.
To get an idea of the emotion, some 200 odd community members tried to squeeze into the local hall.
