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!

Trish and John Highfield commented 2019-09-18 15:35:23 +1000The most beautiful farm and grazing land has been saved by your corageous decision to respect the evidence from those who understand what the loss of the Bylong would mean to future Australian generations. We’ll never forget our first visit to this wonderous part of the world, contemplating the awesome beauty, but only to be shocked by the overwhelming aural disruption of coal trains from existing mines up the track. Thank you for acting in the public good over profit for international entrepreneurs seeking quick profits with little concern for heritage and climate damage caused to Australia.

Margaret de Burgh commented 2019-09-18 15:34:48 +1000Thank you for displaying good judgement in the Bylong decision to stop coal I wept with emotion at the news.
We have a government which is pro coal used for old technology. This is ruinous for our water and land.
