@AndrewMcCredie1 Hi Andrew. Are you contactable? Roland Manderson.
Our Principal Lawyer in Hobart, Nicole Sommer (@NicSommer), says: “At the very least, this project must now go through a full and detailed assessment, allowing Tasmanians to have a say on what happens in their World Heritage Area.” Read more: edo.org.au/2019/12/05/lak… #edo
Last month the Federal Court found this decision was flawed, and now have ordered the Government to remake its decision. #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
The project, which would see up to 240 helicopter flights a year to and from a private accommodation complex in the Walls of Jerusalem National Park, was deemed by the Commonwealth Government not to require an approval under EPBC Act. We challenged that on behalf of our client.
The Federal Court has ordered a Commonwealth Government decision over a controversial helicopter tourism project at Halls Island be scrapped and remade after a successful legal challenge by EDO and our client @Wilderness_Aus. #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
BREAKING: Huge court win over Tasmania’s World Heritage Wilderness Area Read more about this latest legal win for our precious Tasmanian environment here: edo.org.au/2019/12/05/lak… #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
"All that would be swept away if this short-sighted proposal ultimately proceeds.” Read our full media release here: bit.ly/2DCnTb6 #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
“Bimblebox is an exceptional example of how sustainable agriculture & conservation can co-exist. They are helping preserve an important un-industrialised part of the Australian landscape, vital ecosystems and culture of the region for future generations. #edo
“We will also argue that the Mining Lease application should be refused on 12 grounds, including that there will be significant adverse environmental, social and economic impacts caused by this project and its operations. #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
“We will argue the Environmental Authority application should be refused on 11 grounds - including that approval would cause environmental harm and would not be consistent with the core objectives of ecologically sustainable development. #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
“Waratah clearly has not given sufficient consideration to the impact this project will have on local farmers and the unique Bimblebox Nature Refuge (@BimbleboxNR). Those impacts are unacceptable to our client and the community. #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
“The decision to take a large mining company like Waratah Coal to court is never an easy one, but farmers and other people have a right to protect their soil, air and water. This coal mine would threaten all of that and leave a legacy of destruction for the community. #edo
Our CEO David Morris (@djmor6) stood with Paola Cassoni from the Bimblebox Alliance this morning outside the Queensland Land Court to speak on our court action against Clive Palmer’s proposed Galilee Coal Project. Here’s what he has to say: #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
“The decision to take a large mining company to court is never easy, but farmers have a right to protect their soil, air and water. This coal mine would threaten all of that and leave a legacy of destruction.” - David Morris, CEO @EDOLawyers edo.org.au/2019/12/02/far…
“We cannot stand by and allow the trashing of nature for coal” - Paola Cassoni, Bimblebox co-owner @EDOLawyers has just filed a case against Clive Palmer’s massive Galilee Basin mine We’re acting for the owners of the Bimblebox Nature Refuge theguardian.com/australia-news…
We’re proud to defend local farmers and the unique Bimblebox nature Refuge (@BimbleboxNR), a sanctuary for over 150 native bird species. Find out more on this case here: bit.ly/35MVv22 #edo #environmentaldefendersoffice
Farmers and landholders of the Bimblebox Alliance have filed an objection to the mine, on the basis it would cause irreversible environmental damage and unacceptable impacts to local agriculture. #environmentaldefendersoffice #edo
Waratah Coal’s Galilee Coal Project, formerly known as China First, is a massive thermal coal mine which would destroy sustainable grazing land within the 8,000ha Bimblebox Nature Refuge (@BimbleboxNR) and generate around 2.9 billion tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions. #edo
It’s a big day for the new national @EDOLawyers and our clients! We’ve just filed a second case today - this one challenges Clive Palmer’s massive new coal mine proposed for Galilee Basin. We’re acting for local graziers from the Bimblebox Alliance. reneweconomy.com.au/environmental-…
BREAKING: Court action against Clive Palmer’s Waratah Coal, @BimbleboxNR objects to new coal mine @EDOLawyers are heading to QLD’s Land Court on behalf of farmers & local landholders to defend the Bimblebox Nature Refuge from proposed mine. More to come! bit.ly/34DSnW1
