Labor has ruled out imposing a levy on coal exports in order to raise funds for the repair and maintenance of Stockton Beach.

The Greens last week announced plans to push for a levy, possibly as high as $1 a tonne, on coal companies and the Port of Newcastle if the party holds the balance of power following the March state election.
