Have Your Say - Donation of a Sculpture for Installation in Emmaville
But little said about the 24/7 open cut Tin Mine?
Have Your Say here
Taronga Mines Pty Ltd has generously donated a unique sculpture affectionately known as "Roobot" to the Glen Innes Severn community. This striking piece of art is intended for installation in a public park or space in Emmaville, where it will serve as a creative focal point for both residents and visitors.
Council appreciates Taronga Mines' generous contribution and is confident that Roobot will enhance the local streetscape and support Emmaville’s growing appeal as a destination rich in charm, heritage and community spirit.
Taronga Mines Pty Ltd, a subsidiary of First Tin Plc, is advancing the Taronga Tin Project near Emmaville, demonstrating a commitment to responsible resource development and community engagement.
A donation? A “sweetener”? Or a Thank-you?

The proposed Taronga Mine is planned to operate 24 hours a day, 7 days per week with shifts structured according to role. To manage Project-related light vehicle traffic on local roads, we would provide a bus service to transport personnel between the mine site and dedicated transport hubs.
The mine camp will be located where there is adequate infrastructure to service a camp and where there is social infrastructure relatively close. Taronga Mines Pty Ltd has been in discussions with Glen Innes Severn Council and is currently investigating a site at Glen Innes Airport. Workers will be bussed to site to reduce traffic on local roads. Opportunities for local businesses will include catering, cleaning and general camp management and maintenance.
The Consent Authority for the mine is the NSW Planning Minister (or delegate). We have been in consultation with Glen Innes Severn Council since acquiring the Project in 2022 and will continue to work with Glen Innes Severn Council over the Project-life. Glen Innes Severn Council would however be the relevant authority for the necessary permits under the Roads Act, Local Government Act and applicable certificates (i.e. construction and occupation). Glen Innes Severn Council will approve the mine accommodation camp and we are currently in conversations with Glen Innes Severn Council about its location.
