Conservation groups have slammed the Federal Government’s Snowy Hydro 2.0 Project, following the release of its Environmental Impact Statement.
The National Parks Association and the Colong Foundation are concerned about the impact of the project upon threatened species, after it was revealed that over 1,500 hectares of protected land would be affected.
Executive officer of the National Parks Association Gary Dunnett said that the project was "the largest” and “most destructive” development in a national park.
