Thank you for saving this valuable farming district from mining.

I’m sure the wisdom of this decision will increasingly become evident as our need for good farming land and undistutbed bush lands increases with population growth and current unusually hot and dry seasons.

Best decision ever Independent Planning Commission. You rock.

What a relief, it makes me have belief that we can actually save ourselves from greed induced destruction. Please deliver the same to Adani and the Carmichael Mine

The planet (and I) thank you.

The IPC has made the correct decision here, in turning down the Kepco mine. Future generations will be grateful for preserving this beautiful and productive area.

Thank you so much for doing this. There is so little time left and in a world where nearly all the decisions made are the wrong ones – its wonderful to know that at least some people understand what needs to be done.

thanks. now, what else have you got..?

Thank you SO much for making the right decision!

For the people, for the environment and for the planet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Well done. I am so happy.

The only reasonable and safe choice to make, Thankyou in appreciation

Thanks from the bottom of my heart for doing the right thing. We have to protect Mother Earth with all means because there is no planet B!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!

Thank you so very much to the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government. This beautiful piece of New South Wales will now stay that way, thanks to this landmark decision.

Thank you so very much for your decision regarding the proposed mine in the Bylong Valley.

Thank you to the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government for rejecting the risky Bylong coal mine, and therefore saving the beautiful Bylong Valley and Tarwyn Park.

Thank you so very much for saving the beautiful Bylong Valley and Tarwyn Park. This is a victory for clear thinking and carefully considering the facts. Thank you!

Fantastic…..lets keep it that way…..too many mines in Australia….destroying our water resources and unfortunately killing our environment….let along climate change!!!

From myself ,my children, my grandchildren and all their future children,

We want to thank the Independent Planning Commission and NSW Government for a fantastic decision .

Thankyou NSW Independent Planning Commission.

You have made the right decision!

It is heartening that common sense and foresight prevails in Australia.

Coal is no longer the answer to our needs. And ruining perfectly good land for growing would be criminal. Leaving vegetation for air quality, habitat and serenity, is imperative too. The water table is also so crucial. Contamination is too easy and with no return. I applaud your scrutiny and sound judgement.

This is a great moment in time.

Cheers to you! Clever thinkers and doers!

Thanks for your hard work and tireless effort to save a piece of our special country. Now to take on the ADANI giant.

Climate change is real!

Thank you for making the correct decision.

Thank you SO much for working hard on all our behalves to bring about this result! I can tend to feel hopeless about making a difference. This result encourages me to keep working. SO impressive!!!

On behalf of our country, and in particular, at this point, the Bylong Valley, I congratulate the Independent Planning Commission and the NSW Government for making the right decision to protect this area for the future. The land is far more valuable to Australia/NSW for farming and agriculture and maintaining precious groundwater than polluting it with coal mines. I understand that coal is important but not to the detriment of valuable natural resources which would be impacted far, far into the future. We can no longer ride on the sheeps back, can barely support the milking industry because of past and ongoing bad decisions, so it is pleasing to see that common sense has prevailed.

Thank you

THANKYOU THANKYOU

Thank you so much for making this well-informed and forward-thinking decision.

Wonderful to see common sense prevail. There are many alternative power sources coming into focus now if only the power companies would allow this to occur – we don’t need large power stations.

I applaud your stance in protecting the beautiful Bylong Valley from mining.

Thankyou this decision is a voice for food security for the future of our children’s children and for Mother Earth

Thank you for taking positive action to create cleaner energy alternatives for the planet !

Congratulations on this ruling, we need to save everything we can for the future.

Common sense and long term sustainability prevailed! Thanks for considering the future!

Thank you for preserving the Bylong Valley, Peter Andrews legacy and acting to mitigate climate change.
