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!

Deb Collins commented 2019-09-18 16:05:23 +1000As a one time resident of this beautiful municipality and a visitor during the drawn out community protest for developing this area as a coal mine, can I just say thank you thank you thank you for your prudent research and the conscientious exploration you have engaged in to reject this plan.
As conservationists wishing to preserve our natural world for future generations, we sadly have very few wins especially against these mighty mining industries.
We must be serious and immediate in preserving arable land, forests, ground water and communities that favour living and caring for the land and mixed use of resources.
Thank you, wow . You have made my day and my year. The beautiful Bylong Valley lives on. -
