Contracts being cancelled for the China First coal mine – the biggest plan on the books.

What does this mean for Emerald, Alpha and surrounds?

GIO, AAMI, and SUNCORP will NOT insure on a new build in Emerald.
Does anyone have any other options or suggestions as to who might insure?

How are the bank valuations going there when it comes to getting finance? Are they valuing the houses much lower like they were in more high risk areas like Moranbah?
