The Conservation Council of Western Australia will pursue legal action in a bid to overturn environmental approval for the Yeelirrie uranium mine. The former Liberal government approved the project prior to the 2017 state election, but the CCWA will argue that this approval may be legally invalid. There are concerns that Cameco’s Yeelirrie project may threaten a species of stygofauna. However, the low price of uranium may be the biggest deterrent to Cameco proceeding with the project in the near-term.
