Queensland government plan to open Cape York up to mining and agriculture 'insane', says conservation group
Cape York's pristine coastline and Indigenous cultural significance is under threat from development, conservationists say.
A Queensland government plan to open up Cape York to development is "insane" and risks destroying landscapes that are currently being considered for world heritage listing, environmentalists claim.
The Cape York Statutory Regional Plan aims to "ensure the long-term viability" of the region through agriculture, mining and tourism.
