A freedom of information request reveals one of the country’s big coal miners broke environmental laws on a number of occasions.

The released documents show Whitehaven Coal repeatedly exceeding noise limits as well as mining more coal than their licence allowed.

All of the breaches occurred in Whitehaven’s four mines in and around Narrabri in north west NSW.
