Protests signs at Eungella, Queensland
The proposed pumped hydro project west of Mackay will have many negative impacts on the pristine and unspoilt environment surrounding Eungella.
The ambitious Pioneer-Burdekin proposal near Mackay is touted as the world's largest pumped hydro scheme.
It would involve constructing three dams adjacent to the Eungella National Park at an estimated cost of $12 billion.
About 50 homes and vast agricultural land could be flooded to make way for the project, which could also displace native platypuses.
