“Our policy position is not that every industrial or harbour project should be rejected,” the organisation said in its campaign statement. Rather than disputing that impacts exist, the campaign argues the central issue is whether available studies, mitigation measures and monitoring requirements are sufficiently robust and independently verified before irreversible excavation begins. Preserving Paradise is also questioning modelling contained within the EIA relating to harbour flushing, flood risk and groundwater. Preserving Paradise is also urging the Government to consider an alternative vision for the property. Preserving Paradise argues the debate should evolve beyond a traditional “jobs versus the environment” discussion into a broader assessment of natural resource management, long-term economic development and government accountability.
