The High Court held the Environment Court did not err in law: it lawfully exercised its specialist judgment, had adequate evidential basis to adopt the 15,000 tpd daily threshold and 2.5 million tpy annual cap, conducted an appropriate s 32 evaluation in context without needing exhaustive quantification, and reasonably accommodated short-term impracticable reinjection activities; the appeal is dismissed.
