A key part of a bold plan to transform an old mine site into a "temple to the natural world" on Victoria's coast is being questioned over its environmental sustainability.
Aluminium company Alcoa, which used to run the former open-cut coal mine in Anglesea, is set to hand over the site to UK-based social enterprise The Eden Project by 2024.
The company wants to create an environmental tourist attraction that celebrates the four elements, calling it "a love-child between the world's greatest science centre and the greatest gallery of your imagination".
