‘The rural south-east seat of Nanango is shaping up as one to watch at the Queensland election. It is home to the New Acland coal mine, which recently received a controversial expansion approval from the State Government. New Acland Stage 3 will see coal output at the mine increase by almost three million tonnes per year.
