Federal Court strikes down heritage order that blocked $1bn McPhillamys gold mine
The Federal Court of Australia has overturned a Commonwealth decision that halted the development of Regis Resources' one-billion-dollar McPhillamys Gold Project in regional New South Wales. Former environment minister Tanya Plibersek had blocked the planned tailings facility in twenty twenty-four under Section ten of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Heritage Protection Act. Justice James Stellios ruled that the declaration suffered from procedural unfairness. The matter has been referred back to current federal environment minister Murray Watt for a fresh determination. Also in this briefing: Greens senator Jordon Steele-John denies misconduct claims and refuses to take leave; City-to-regional moves hit an equal-record high as Australians head to Queensland.
