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.

Good to know that farmers can win over mining. Food and environment is so much more important.

Thank you so much for your decision. It gives one a glimmer of hope in the process when such a decision is made, not from greed & influence, but from being informed and sanely thinking the situation through. Thank you for saving our water, land and community, for the good of all. Well done!

Thank you – a decision based on science and the detrimental cost to our future generations. Great to see decisions not been based on short term profits.

Thank you for rejecting coal mining in the Bylong Valley. The mine would have destroyed the valley forever, in exchange for short-term economic gain.

As a Mid-Western Regional Council ratepayer and resident, and a long-term worker in the Bylong Valley environs and a friend of many of the remaining farmers remaining there, I strongly commend the IPC for its historic and deeply considered independent conclusion regarding disallowing the KEPCO Bylong Valley mining licence proposal. Many generations hereafter will benefit from and appreciate your decision.
