Look at the submission ATU made to the board that is developing the coal policy:

Bascially:

Cat 2,3,4 have same habitats and wildlife.

There is Coking Coal on 5% of land on cat 2, 3 and 4 each. 5% of all these categories.

So even if all the cat 2, 3, 4 was developed into mines, it would represent 5% of total land of cat 2,3 and 4.

BTW there is no coking coal on cat 3 land.

This is completely insane that there is any ban since again only 5% of land at max would be affected. This is all land in total not just ATU land.

This is my understanding.
