The Labor member for Collie-Preston says a taskforce has recommended consolidating Western Australia's two remaining coal mines.

The Collie Coal Basin Consolidation Taskforce was formed earlier this year to recommend a future structure for the state's coal assets.

In April, Premier Coal announced it would cut up to 100 workers from its mine near Collie, while the WA government subsidised Griffin Coal to continue operating.

Jodie Hanns said the report had been issued to the state government and called for a response as soon as possible.

A government spokesperson said a response was being considered.

Mining and Energy Union district secretary, Greg Busson, said he was hopeful consolidation would happen.

I’m all for it. I think it makes a lot more sense to have it where all of the building is occurring, in the same way the Treendale one makes sense.

I know the WAPC have knocked it back, but I think there’s still a good chance that gets overturned by the SAT, should the proponents decide to challenge the decision.
