High Court invalidates Mount Pleasant mine expansion approval
The High Court ruled 3–2 that planners had to consider emissions from coal burned overseas when approving Mount Pleasant's expansion, invalidating the approval. The mine can operate until 2032 while MACH Energy pursues a new application, and officials dispute the ruling's wider significance.
