Gold Mine Legal Challenge

Legal action has begun against a proposed gold mine near the New South Wales town of Braidwood.

Western Australian company Cortona Resources is planning the six year mine at Majors Creek, 60 kilometres south-east of Canberra.

The mine was approved last month by the New South Wales Government and was also ticked off under the Commonwealth's Environmental Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

But the Eurobodalla Shire Council hopes to overturn the decision in the New South Wales Land and Environment Court.
