ECNT launches legal action against government's Mataranka water plan

10 Apr

An environment group is taking legal action against the NT government's Mataranka water plan, which covers a massive aquifer beneath the region's world-famous hot springs.

The plan allows for up to 62,000 ML/year to be extracted from the Tindal Limestone Aquifer, roughly double the previous amount allowed.
