Supporters outside the NSW Land and Environment court on Macquarie St ahead of Upper Mooki Landcare vs Shenhua and NSW Minister for Planning court case
A legal challenge is underway in the NSW Land and Environment court over the state approval of the Shenhua coal mine proposed for development at Breeza on the Liverpool Plains.
The Upper Mooki Landcare group from the Liverpool Plains region will argue that the Shenhua Watermark mine approval failed to properly consider, as required by law, whether the open cut coal mine would place a viable local population of koalas, a threatened species, at risk of extinction.
If the mine proceeds it will bulldoze 847 hectares of koala habitat, displacing an estimated 262 koalas.
