Summary
Flotation Energy, a company planning to build an offshore wind farm in Australia (called "Seadragon"), has commenced judicial review proceedings challenging the minister's refusal to grant a license approving the project. Among the minister's reasons for declining the license are concerns about threatened and aquatic species, the impact on terrestrial, marine and freshwater environments, Aboriginal cultural heritage values, and landscape and visual amenity.
