MANNERING COAL MINE SET TO CLOSE DOWN OPERATIONS

Despite plans for future expansion – Centennial Coal has now decided to shut down operations at its Mannering coal mine as of January next year.

The company is placing both its Lake Macquarie operations and its Airly mine near Lithgow into care and maintenance mode.

Centennial has attributed the decision to low prices, difficult mining conditions and poor quality coal.

A majority of staff are set to be redeployed – while redundancies will be minimised to about 40.
