If Western Australia's Conservation Council wins a new Supreme Court case over a major Woodside LNG project, it could affect numerous other large-emitting projects.
The Western Australian government has faced questions in Parliament over its decision to approve Woodside's greenhouse gas abatement program for its proposed Pluto LNG expansion.
Approvals relating to Woodside's Pluto project and the Waitsia 2 gas development are candidates for a new climate duty of care test case under consideration by the WA Conservation Council.
Highlights include court rulings in two states, NSW manuals on biodiversity assessment and floodplain risk, and new waste strategies in two states. Job listings include positions with the Clean Energy Regulator.
