Gloucester Resources Limited v. Minister for Planning

Also known as the "Rocky Hill" case, Gloucester Resources Limited v. Minister for Planning saw a mining company sue the Minister for Planning over the decision to block a proposed coal mine. The court ruled that the decision to deny the permit was valid because the mine was not in the public's interest. Climate change was a significant factor in the decision.
