Help ban fracking in the Kimberley- before it’s too late

Western Australia’s iconic Kimberley region is under threat from fracking!

Communities, culture and natural wonders are all at risk from oil and gas developments.

We can't let them destroy this iconic place! Add your voice to the call for a fracking ban.

To WA Premier Premier Roger Cook:

The Kimberley is too precious to open up to fracking oil & gasfields. Fracking puts the Kimberley’s environmental diversity and cultures at risk.

Don’t leave people in a sacrifice zone. If fracking is too risky for the people of the South West, Perth and Peel regions where it’s banned, it’s too risky for the Kimberley and the rest of WA too.

We call on you to ban fracking in the Kimberley.

This iconic region in North West WA has been identified as having some of the largest untapped shale gas and tight sands gas reserves in the world, and companies are gearing up to frack for gas.

The area covered by petroleum titles in the Kimberley contains known or likely habitat for 32 nationally endangered and vulnerable species under Federal environment laws and 33 threatened species under WA biodiversity conservation laws.

Tell the WA Government to keep the Kimberley frack free!

Fracking will put the Kimberley's communities, wildlife, water resources and tourist industry at risk.

Opening up the Kimberley for unconventional gas would mean the industrialisation of entire landscapes with potentially thousands of gas wells, pipelines, roads and infrastructure. This would involve extensive vegetation clearing and fragmentation and unacceptable risks to ground and surface water.

Abandoned well pad King George Sound.

Seismic testing east of Broome.

Even in the early stages of oil and gas exploration in the Kimberley there have been significant impacts.

Buru Energy bulldozed globally significant vegetation over a distance as great as from Perth to London for seismic testing, and from three exploration wells, locals have witnessed a wastewater pond overflowing and a well leaking greenhouse gases.

Australia's Kimberley region has some of the largest, intact, natural landscapes left in the world.

It has globally significant wetlands, free-flowing river systems and pristine oceans, and provides refuge for threatened wildlife that have disappeared from most of Australia.
