A coal miner turns home builder to lure city workers to the bush

According to The Australian Financial Review, coal miner Whitehaven will moonlight as a property developer in rural NSW as part of efforts to lure skilled workers away from the big cities to join an era of record profitability in the coal sector.
Whitehaven mines coal near the NSW towns of Gunnedah and Narrabri and a lack of housing in the region has made it harder for the miner to attract skilled labour amid a boom in the resources sector and as governments spend big on infrastructure in cities.
Mr Flynn said Whitehaven had acquired land in the region which was eligible for subdivision and would seek to have the land developed in a variety of ways.
