flag MACH Energy seeks to extend Mount Pleasant coal mine operations until 2032, adding 78 million tonnes of coal and increasing emissions by a million tonnes over five years, despite ongoing legal challenges and climate concerns.

flag MACH Energy is seeking a six-year extension to operate the Mount Pleasant coal mine in NSW until 2032, allowing an additional 78 million tonnes of coal to be mined, which could increase greenhouse gas emissions by a million tonnes over five years. flag The proposal, under public exhibition until March 10, follows years of legal challenges, including a partial reversal by the NSW Court of Appeal in July 2025 and a pending High Court review. flag Environmental groups oppose the move, saying it conflicts with NSW’s climate targets and the Paris Agreement, and criticize the Department of Planning for advancing the application amid unresolved legal issues.
