Gray v Minister for Planning: The Rising Tide, of Climate Change Litigation in Australia

This paper explores the recent decision in Gray v Minister for Planning and situates it in the context of the developing climate change jurisprudence in Australia. The paper examines the role the case played in the climate movement, especially the organisations campaigning to stop Anvil Hill mine. The Graydecision sets a valuable precedent for the Australian judiciary to become more willing to impose rigorous environmental assessment standards on projects with significant climate change impacts.
