Federal Court extends injunction on Tarkine mine. Awards costs to applicant 4

Justice Marshall has this morning granted an extension of the injunction against works at the Shree Minerals’ Nelson Bay River proposed mine in the Tarkine.

The injunction will remain in effect until a final decision is made later in the year on the Federal Court challenge to the mine approval.

The court ordered Shree Minerals pay the applicant’s costs.

“We are pleased with the outcome of this morning’s hearing. This is welcome respite for the survival of the Tasmanian devil,” said Save the Tarkine Campaign Coordinator, Scott Jordan.
