Thanks for saving Bylong!


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.

    Thank you for your decision, hopefully this will be supported in other states and Australia will be kept to support climate change and nature. Not ruined by greedy commercial interests.

    Again thank you, keep up the good work

    Thank you, Commissioner, for your far-sighted decision to see beyond any short term gain, & consider the kind of Australia we wish to hand to the future.

    Thank you so much for rejecting the Bylong coal mine! This is a much needed outcome not only to protect important agricultural land but also protect our Country and planet from Climate Change! It is such a relief to see that finally the future is starting to matter and that short term profits for a very small minority are being put well after the protection of our future!
