Muswellbrook Shire理事会提议采矿用地增加29%,以抵消关闭煤矿预计每年损失500万美元的收入,目的是每年产生600万美元,以维持服务和支持经济转型。 Muswellbrook Shire Council proposes a 29% rate increase on mining land to offset an expected $5 million annual revenue loss from coal mine closures, aiming to generate $6 million yearly to maintain services and support economic transition. 这一变化只会影响采矿业,而不会影响一般的付息人,并且需要新南威尔士州独立规划和监管法庭(IPART)在征求公众意见后批准。 The change would only affect mining properties, not general ratepayers, and requires approval from the NSW Independent Planning and Regulatory Tribunal (IPART) after public consultation. 至2026年1月7日,四个社区论坛和一项在线调查已开放至2026年1月7日,其收益将为未来新工业和基础设施改善基金提供资金。 Four community forums and an online survey are open until January 7, 2026, with proceeds funding a future fund for new industries and infrastructure improvements.
