EIS Gloucester Coal 2010

Abstract

This dataset was supplied to the Bioregional Assessment Programme by a third party and is presented here as originally supplied.

The metadata was not provided by the data supplier and has been written by the programme based on known details at the time of writing.

The dataset is a PDF report published by Gloucester Coal & Co. Pty. Limited in 2010. It contains a map of the mine boundary for the Duralie Coal Mine which was scanned and digitised to be used in subsequent analysis as part of the Bioregional Assessment.

This document is an Environmental Assessment (EA) for the Duralie Extension Project (the Project). The Project provides for the extension and continuation of open pit mining operations at the

existing Duralie Coal Mine (DCM).

Dataset History

The map shown in Fig ES-3 showing existing and proposed mine extent of Duralie was scanned and georeferenced in the GIS. These were georectified to MGA 56 geotiffs using recognised features of know location in the various map images as control points (eg road junctions, corners of administrative boundaries etc).

Selected features shown on the map were manually digitised off the computer screen using this georectified map as a backdrop. Features were saved as ESRI shapefiles in the MGA z56 projection.
