Meandu Mine is a coal mine west of Yarraman in Neumgna, Queensland, Australia. The open-cut mine supplies coal to Tarong Power Station and Tarong North Power Station. It is owned by Stanwell Corporation and operated by Downer Mining.
Work first started on the mine in 1978.[1] The mine has five active working pits. It can supply a maximum of seven million tonnes of coal per year.[1] The mine has enough reserves to continue mining until at least 2037.[2]
Owners wanted to replace the existing Meandu mine supply of coal to Tarong with another mine near Kingaroy.[3]
Operators of the mine want to continue extracting coal for decades to come.[4]
Progressive rehabilitation of the Meandu Mine has been implemented from the start.[2]
