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.
Thanks for saving Bylong!

Damian Castaldi commented 2019-09-19 22:37:05 +1000A very big thank you to the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government for rejecting the risky Bylong coal mine. I have lived in Kandos within a collective community of very concientious local residents who have strongly opposed the Bylong coal mine. I want to thank you for saving the future of the land, its growth and for the coming generations of peoples who will benefit enormously from a forward thinking, wise and ecologically sound decision to save a natural farming food belt in the mid western region of New South Wales. -
