flag Over 8,000 appeals challenge a proposed fracking project in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, citing environmental, health, and cultural risks.

flag Over 8,000 appeals have been filed against a proposed 20-well fracking project in Western Australia’s Kimberley region, the largest number in state history, challenging the Environmental Protection Authority’s approval. flag The project, by Black Mountain Energy, aims to explore shale gas near the Martuwarra Fitzroy River, potentially leading to large-scale extraction. flag Opponents, including Aboriginal groups, environmental organizations, and the WA Labor Party, argue the EPA failed to adequately assess health, environmental, and cultural risks, citing concerns over water contamination, ecosystem damage, and inadequate safeguards. flag The final decision rests with the Cook government, expected later in 2026.
