SUMMARY
Extract from website:
The Australian Conservation Foundation and Mackay Conservation Group have begun legal proceedings in the Queensland Land Court, seeking the refusal of Whitehaven Coal’s Winchester South thermal and metallurgical coal mine, proposed for the Bowen Basin.
The environment groups will argue the court should recommend no mining lease or environmental authority be granted for the Winchester South project – Australia’s largest proposed new coal project – due to its significant environmental and human rights impacts.
