Adani is facing a fresh legal battle over its planned Carmichael coal mine, a day after announcing workforce arrangements for the long-awaited project.

The Wangan and Jagalingou Traditional Owners Council has instructed lawyers to file an appeal against a Queensland government decision to issue leases for the mine before other court proceedings had finished.

The move comes a day after the Indian mining giant and Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk revealed workforce arrangements for the project, which will prioritise local workers.

It's the fourth simultaneous legal action by the group, with spokesman Adrian Burragubba saying a "legal line of defence" is being constructed because Adani and the State are trying to "bulldoze" them.
