Congratulations for your landmark decision to save the Bylong Valley!!

This is a wonderful outcome after such long consideration. Congratulations to the decision makers, they certainly have arrived at the right decision

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!

Well done! Thank you for realising the importance of those things that sustain life.

Thank you for sparing the Bylong Valley from Despoilinment by coal mining.

Thank you so much for this fantastic, sensible decision. It is comforting to know that these massive companies do not always win

THank you for saving the beautiful Bylong Valley.

Thank you for doing the right thing.

Thank you so much for saving Bylong! I have genuine tears that someone cares about our beautiful country, please help to protect more of it, we dont want dirty oil and dont want to end up destroyed like America!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!!!!

Excellent. Intelligent, far-reaching decision to disallow a coal mine

Thank you NSW ENVIRONMENT Commission, at last a government department listening to its people, and have the foresight to look beyond to the future. Water will be the new gold not short term coal interest.

It is a BIG PITY QLD GOVERNMENT cannot look beyond coal and $$$ and look to the future of preserving water resources e.g. the Great Artesian Basin threat and the Carmichael project ( Adani)).

Great news.we need more commitment like this towards the environment.

We only have one choice but its the correct one.big thank you.

Australia thanks you for rejecting the Bylong coal mine
