Shenhua Watermark coal mine
Proposed coal mine in New South Wales
The Shenhua Watermark coal mine was a proposed coal mine in the Liverpool Plains of New South Wales, Australia.
The project was to be located approximately 25 km south-east of the town of Gunnedah, near the village of Breeza and carried out by state-owned Chinese mining company Shenhua Group. Coal is to be shipped through the port of Newcastle.
The project was controversial because of the location in the Liverpool Plains, a primary agricultural region of Australia. It is named after the nearby Mount Watermark.
