I’m an expatriate Aussie currently living in the U.S. but have watched in horror over the years as irreplaceable beauty and habitat have been ploughed under in reckless slavery to the almighty dollar in Australia as in other countries. Thank you so much for having the clarity of vision to see what would have been lost, and the courage and determination to save it.

My heartfelt thanks for your decision that will preserve the beautiful Bylong Valley.

Thank you so much for putting precious groundwater and heritage values above the proposed Bylong coal mine.

Thank you Thank you Thank you for saving such a wonderful natural marvel. I really appreciate your efforts !!!

I have been (un?) fortunate to work the area around the Bylong development (on the coal development). It is with utmost satisfaction that I hear this news. The area is incomparably beautiful and to decimate it with an open cut coal mine would be sacrilegious. If you haven’t been there you must go and see for yourself the beauty this area has… Visit the general store at Bylong (the only shop) and be transported back in time. Then take a wander down to the Church and walk through the cemetery to see its history, then find to old sandstone homestead ( adjacent to the mine office) and see what they thought and how how they cared for this land…

Congratulations on stopping it!

Thank you for rejecting the Bylong coal mine, a good decision that gives hope for the future for all Australians.

To the NSW Independent Planning Commission,

THANK YOU FOR SAVING AND PRESERVING THE BYLONG VALLEY AND “TARWYN PARK” for a healthier future. Cheers !!!!!

Thank you for bhuxmojg the trend and rejecting the application for this mine, it is important work that you have done!
