Barry Broe

摘要

In the first year since being appointed coordinator-general, Barry Broe has already made 145 statutory decisions, an increase of 225% over the previous 12 month period. One of his main focusses is streamlining project assessment timeframes; a direct result has been the reduction of assessment times of the environmental impact process by 60%. Among the projects approved by Broe are the $6.5 billion Alpha Coal project (a 30Mt/a open-cut coal mine) and the $1.45 billion South of Embley project (a staged increase of Rio Tinto Alcans Weipa bauxite mining operation to 50Mt/a, including a new open-cut mine).
