One of Australia's smallest marsupials secures a big legal win on the NSW Central Coast | 07 May 2015 | After a ten-year battle, the Eastern Pygmy Possum has had a big legal win in the High Court of Australia. The possum's habitat is located in an industrial zone in Somersby, where a developer had been fighting for a decade to build a waste resource recovery facility. Gosford Council rejected the initial development application, arguing that the proposed facility would have an irreversible impact on the local population of the pygmy possum, a threatened species. The pint-sized marsupial measures less than 20cm, including its tail, and weighs in at a mere 30 grams.
