Former colliery heritage listed
The Queensland Heritage Council has entered the former Dawson Valley Colliery in the Queensland Heritage Register.
QHC chair David Eades said the listing had all-round local support from Baralaba and District Historical Group, Banana Shire Council and owners, Cockatoo Coal Limited.
“This is a town that’s already recognised the importance of preserving its past and making a tourist feature of the early days of coal mining,” Mr Eades said.
“Cockatoo Coal is keen to conserve the mining heritage values of the site. This decision could provide the impetus for a low-key tourism opportunity.
“What heritage listing will not do is impact on the existing nearby open-cut mine: we’ve assured Cockatoo Coal of that.”
The former colliery was identified as part of the statewide heritage survey, being carried out by the Department of Environment and Resource Management’s Heritage Branch.
It’s one of only two relatively intact former mines known to have survived from the early days of coalmining in the Bowen Basin.
It was the first successful underground coal mine in the Dawson River Valley, operating from 1921 to 1969.
The mine was originally developed to provide fuel for the smelters and boilers at now heritage-listed Mount Morgan Gold Mine.
It later produced coal for export.
