NSW To Earn $500 Million More In Coal Royalties

Australia’s New South Wales state may earn A$500 million ($437 million) more a year in coal royalties, the Australian Financial Review has reported.

The increase is due to an industry agreement that will more than double coal capacity at Port of Newcastle within six years, the newspaper said, citing an interview with the state’s Port Minister Joe Tripodi.

Australia’s competition regulator has to approve the plan, the Review reported.
