联邦环境部长 Tanya Plibersek 为新南威尔士州中西部 10 亿澳元的 McPhillamys 黄金项目的一部分发布了土著遗产保护令，以回应 Wiradjuri 传统所有者对 Belubula 河源头和泉水的担忧。 Federal Environment Minister Tanya Plibersek has issued an Indigenous heritage protection order for part of the $1bn McPhillamys Gold Project in central-west New South Wales, in response to concerns from Wiradjuri traditional owners about the headwaters and springs of the Belubula River. 该决定使该项目无法运作,因为需要时间为尾矿水坝找到一个替代地点,即一个关键的废物处置场。 The decision has made the project unviable due to the time required to find an alternative location for the tailings dam, a key waste site. 新南威尔士州总理克里斯·明斯(Chris Minns)和总理安东尼·阿尔巴内斯(Anthony Albanese)表示支持该项目, NSW Premier Chris Minns and Prime Minister Anthony Albanese have expressed support for the project, discussing the possibility of an "expedited" approval for any changes to existing plans.
