The federal environment minister has ordered an assessment of the Lake Malbena tourism proposal in response to a Federal Court ruling from last year which set aside the government's original approval.
Environment Minister Sussan Ley has since reconsidered the matter in light of the ruling, and informed proponent Wild Drake Pty Ltd of her decision on Thursday.
The court had found that the original decision by former environment minister Melissa Price that no approval was required had been flawed.
Ms Ley has now decided that the proposal be assessed as a Controlled Action under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act.

It may be possible to recycle Central Highlands Council submissions. Not much has changed regarding environmental and economic impacts of the proposal.
