Thanks for saving Bylong!

Please write a very short message, in your own words, to the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government for rejecting the risky Bylong coal mine. Congratulate them for listening to the experts and protecting this incredible area for its rich soils, precious groundwater and unique heritage values. This means the historic Tarwyn Park property, the home of Natural Sequence Farming, will not be mined.

Thank you for looking at the science and listening to the experts. It is a great relief to know the Bylong Valley will now remain protected with its heritage also preserved.

Thankyou for saving the beautiful Bylong Valley. And now…we must STOP ADANI!

Hello and well done for not allowing the coal mine permission to operate at Bylong. I am from the Uk and are happy to hear that a fossil fuel mine in Australia, one of the biggest mining nations in the World, has been refused planning permission. We all know that the days of fossil fuels are over, and that any large mining operation is an environmental disaster, and in some parts of the World, a social one as well. It is great to know that locals are beginning to value their land in it s magnificent natural state and dont just look at its economic potential .
Judith Arthy commented 2019-09-20 02:43:56 +1000

Well done N S W for this great decision for our ecology and climate benefit. Well done.

Wish I could say the same about our Qld Premier. She’s succumbed to pressure and given the go-ahead for the Bowen mine. As a Labor supporter I find this disgraceful and shortsighted. She may as well sell her soul to the Coalition.
Dennis Plink commented 2019-09-20 02:22:40 +1000

Thankyou for a wise decision in Bylong. It is a decision that gives me hope that our society can recognise values other than relatively short-term profits.

Congratulations.

Thank you so much for respecting the wishes of the Australian people and preserving our beautiful heritage for the children of our country.
Brooke Cohen commented 2019-09-20 02:15:07 +1000

Thank you, for recognising the VITAL importance of our precious and highly vulnerable water systems and catchment areas, especially in NSW. When I visited the Bylong and Gloucester region recently I could not believe the state of our rivers and feared terribly for the ground water supplies. The thought of mining these areas was incomprehensible.

Thank you for recognising how important these gorgeous places are for all living things and for the future health of this state.
Gwen Verdun commented 2019-09-20 01:52:00 +1000

Your decision gives me hope that we can be realistic and achieve more like this decision

Thank you.
Barbara Finch commented 2019-09-20 01:50:33 +1000

Thanks for a wise decision that prioritises our future over short term profit.
