Welcome to the first post in our Checkpoint Series. Boral have worked for more than a year behind a thinning layer of rainforest and this month, the Boral scar finally burst onto the face of Mount William. The scar will continue to grow until it is 500 metres wide, 250 metres high.
In January 2025 Queensland’s environmental regulator issued Boral a formal noise warning. The warning was related to crusher noise but residents say that clearing, drilling and loading are the biggest problems. New complaints are piling up.
Residents have little faith in Boral’s rehabilitation plans due to its past record, and the extreme nature of the topology and location. Even if the rehabilitation were entirely successful, how can it possibly compare to World Heritage rainforest?
