Supreme Court final orders on New Acland Stage 3 judicial review findings

29th May 2018

"The LNP welcomes the decision by the Supreme Court on the New Acland project.

"Hundreds of jobs and communities depend upon the continuation of New Hope’s operation.

"Today’s final orders underline that the Palaszczuk Government should have respected the current legal process and not refused the application to amend the environmental authority for the New Acland Stage 3 project.

"Labor’s contempt for the legal process has caused massive investment uncertainty in Queensland.

"It sent shockwaves through the state’s resources sector and showed that, under Labor, Queensland is not a place that is open for business.

"The matter will now be reconsidered by the Land Court and the LNP respects this process."
