Developers withdraw $1bn Queensland wetlands project application due to environmental risks.
Developers for a $1bn Queensland wetlands project have withdrawn their application after Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek found removing 58.7 hectares from the internationally-protected wetland an unacceptable risk. Walker Corporation will shelve plans for Toondah Harbour development, acknowledging and respecting the minister's proposed decision that the project does not adequately protect the environment. The company now needs time to understand and address the concerns raised.
