Australia on Tuesday approved a controversial port expansion to support mining projects and the dredging of 1.1 million cu m of spoil despite conservationists’ fears it threatens the Great Barrier Reef.
The decision, creating a huge port capable of handling up to 120 million tonnes of coal per year, comes two months after the government approved an Indian-backed plan to build one of the world’s biggest mines in the same area of Queensland state.
The A$16.5 billion (US$12.1 billion) Carmichael project by Adani Enterprises in the Galilee Basin, home to vast coal reserves, has attracted fierce criticism, requiring the fossil fuel to be shipped through the deepwater Abbot Point Coal Terminal which is currently at capacity.
