We have obtained satellite images, cross-referenced with drone footage, indicating coal corporation Magnetic South may have commenced building their proposed Gemini coal mine against the advice of the Federal Government and without referring the project for assessment under national environmental laws (EPBC Act).
Since May 25th at least 200 hectares of remnant forest, greater glider and koala habitat, has been recklessly cleared in an area earmarked for an open cut coal pit.
The clearing is occurring despite correspondence from the federal government stating that the coal mine is 'unlikely to hold appropriate EPBC Act approval' and 'should they (Magnetic South) undertake an action without a decision under the EPBC Act, they carry all associated legal risks.'
We have drafted an email for you, but the best ones are those that are personalised, so please take an extra minute or two to include who you are and why you care about this issue.
