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!

John Hamparsum commented 2019-09-18 15:44:19 +1000Thank you for saving the Bylong Valley from having a huge coal mine in their community. Congratulations!!!
Could we please also save the Liverpool Plains – our food bowl, from having a huge coal mine, the Shenhua Watermark Project, right in the middle of some of the most productive farming soils in Australia. This proposed coal mine will damage the precious water aquifers, destroy significant Aboriginal Heritage and sacred sites, destroy highly important Koala habitat and migration pathways and leak salinity onto the fertile black soil plains for the next 500 years.
Please call for this mine to be halted before it is too late and irreparable damage occurs. -
David Harvey commented 2019-09-18 15:44:13 +1000I want to commend the Commission for its decision, as well as the integrity of the process that led up to it.
I believe future generations of Australians, as well as all of us that care about maintaining our precious natural resources for future agricultural and tourism benefits, will greet and look back on this as a landmark decision in accounting for our long-term interests.
Thank you! -
