"A Supreme Court justice has ordered VicForests to temporarily halt the harvesting of fallen trees at a site in Victoria's west, after a community group alleged it had not surveyed for threatened species."
"Wombat Forestcare began court proceedings last week seeking an injunction for the site in Wombat State Forest, alleging VicForests had not checked the area for species of owls, quolls and reptiles."
"This morning, Supreme Court Justice Melinda Richards ordered VicForests and its contractor to stop any work in the harvesting area until October 31."
