Community labels fines slap on the wrist'
Environment advocates have described the fines as disappointingly small and a "drop in the ocean" compared to the $100 million dollar cost of the fire.
"Hopefully today's sentencing brings some form of closure to the community who have fought for years to have the health and environmental impacts of the mine fire acknowledged and recognised," Environment Victoria's Nick Aberle said.
"Despite the disaster of 2014, coal companies in the Latrobe Valley are continuing to maximise their profits while the public bears the full cost of the negative impacts."
Dr Aberle said it highlighted the need for stronger environmental protection regulations.
Latrobe Valley community advocate Wendy Farmer said the $1.56 million fine was "really just a slap on the wrist for a company that has caused so much harm".
"We know people are still sick from this fire and I hope that the civil action starts," she said.
