Linked coal mine proposals threaten Central Queensland’s environment
EnvA has called on the Federal Environment Minister to assess the linked Moranbah North and Grosvenor coal mine referrals together, warning that separate assessments risk understating their combined impacts on threatened species, water resources and greenhouse gas emissions. Coal extraction proposals must undergo rigorous environmental assessment.

EnvA slams weak 2035 emissions target as a “burn baby, burn” future
Environmental Advocacy in Central Queensland is dismayed at the Federal Government’s insufficient 2035 emissions reduction target, calling it a capitulation to fossil fuel interests rather than the health and wellbing of Australians.
EnvA calls for urgent emissions cuts after release of the National Climate Risk Assessment

Pushing Back on Queensland’s Land Release Reforms
EnvA has made a detailed submission to the Queensland Government’s 2025 Land Release Review Report, which proposes streamlining the way land is opened up for resource projects.
