The department yesterday indicated it was on track to meet today’s deadline, which Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk imposed on her government following Federal Labor’s drubbing at last month’s federal election.

Adani was required to provide an updated version of its plan on Monday after the Government requested more information.

The Courier-Mail understands the Indian miner has been liaising with the Department since then.

It joins Opposition Leader Deb Frecklington’s announcement that she will place a decade-long freeze on coal royalties if the LNP is elected at next year’s election.

Ms Frecklington will use her Budget reply speech this morning to outline a plan to drive development in the Galilee Basin and create thousands of jobs.
