The Queensland Supreme Court has granted mining company Bravus (formerly Adani) leave to pursue a $22 million counterclaim against Isaac Regional Council in a long-running dispute over access road construction standards linked to the Carmichael Mine. The case centres on disagreements over required specifications for a 96-kilometre mine access road, including changes to width and barrier design standards issued by the council after initial agreements were made. Bravus alleges the changes led to significant additional costs and disruptions to road works associated with the mine. The Carmichael Mine, located in central Queensland’s Galilee Basin, began exporting coal in 2021, and the dispute continues before the Supreme Court.
