flag South32 wins approval for WA bauxite mine expansion with fewer environmental restrictions.

flag South32, an Australian mining company, has won approval from Western Australia's Environment Minister for its Worsley Alumina project expansion, overriding stricter conditions set by the state's EPA. flag The project, which includes expanding bauxite mining in jarrah forests, now has fewer environmental restrictions, including relaxed carbon emissions rules. flag The company expects to receive federal approval in early 2025, allowing the extension of the Boddington bauxite mine's life. flag Critics argue the decision favors revenue over environmental protection.
