Thank you to all the supporters of this petition and to all those who were active as part of the wider lobby group to stop the Coal Port project at Shoalwater Bay Training Area.
Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett, rejected the project under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 and this is a vindication for the environment!
Cheers!
