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!

You have given us in Queensland hope and encouragement to keep fighting for what is right.

Graeme Tychsen commented 2019-09-21 13:16:56 +1000I worked with the leading representatives of energy companies in the 1980s and 1990s, upon the ExxonMobil and Shell bulletins. I cannot believe that such serious matters have been ignored for so long. It is decisions like yours that will do what needs and can be done. Of course the huge expansion of Hunter Valley open cut simply fouls the region.
