The Supreme Court of Queensland has been asked by a green group to review the environment approval that has been granted to the Indian conglomerate Adani Enterprise Ltd for building one of the biggest coal mines of the world in the Australian state.

Adani had received a mining lease from Queensland earlier this month and has been facing opposition from green groups since starting work on the coal project six years ago.

Queensland had failed to consider “ecological sustainable development”, an overall environmental safety net, as required, says conservation group Coast and Country in the latest challenge to the $10 billion Carmichael mine, rail and port project.

Derec Davies, with Coast and Country said in a statement that “The department cannot just ignore those laws that will allow the big end of town to develop a huge, polluting coal mine that will create catastrophic environmental harm both now and into the future.”
