Resumen
Applicants challenged a permit in Australia state court for the development of levees and bunds to protect the coastal area from sea level rise.

The court found the levees would benefit the public; however, it set aside the permit because the impacts on the dune system were not adequately considered and did not sufficiently address flood risks to outweigh those concerns.

Key environmental legal questions:
