The Land Court of Queensland has recommended that the State Government grant a mining lease to Adani for its proposed Carmichael coal mine. However, Land Court president Carmel MacDonald added that the mine’s approval should be subject to a number of conditions, and concluded that the economic benefits of the $A16.5bn project would be greater than its environmental impact. Environmentalists have sought to block the project.
