A planned open cut coal mine in the heart of the Liverpool Plains can now move ahead after a favourable outcome in the Land and Environment Court.
Upper Mooki Landcare argued more than 250 koalas would be left homeless with Shenhua Watermark Coal Mine’s current wildlife proposal.
However, the Court’s Officer ruled the group didn’t prove the Planning and Assessment Commission failed to consider all angles of the argument.
The ruling removes another hurdle in the mining giant’s purchase of a $200-million mining license.
