Waratah Coal challenges port veto
Sponsored LinksA central Queensland coal company is challenging the Federal Government’s decision to veto a new coal port at Shoalwater Bay. Waratah Coal announced plans for a $5.3 billion coal terminal, railway and mine in central Queensland earlier this year.
The company says Shoalwater Bay’s deep water is ideal for a new port, but it sparked public outrage.
Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett vetoed the project, saying it would destroy the ecological integrity of the area.Last month, Waratah Coal applied for a judicial review of the Minister’s decision and today the Federal Court of Australia will hear Waratah Coal’s objection.
