[timrie6]

Please help put a stop to the expansion of Moolarben mine threatening to destroy my family home (along with hundreds of others).

PLEASE email an objection before 23rd OCTOBER.

Here are some sample letters, it will take 2 seconds,
you can just copy and paste and fill in your name: http://www.savethedrip.com/SAMPLE LETTERS.doc

EMAIL: moolarben_comment@planning.nsw.gov.au

It will be a MAJOR contributor to climate change with the production of 12MT coal per year - enough coal to produce 32 million tonnes of greenhouse pollution per year.

It will use 6.9 MILLION L/day of water simply to wash coal

416.6 ha remnant native forest will be cleared, including over 65ha of Ecologically Endangered Communities.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Sucks to be you

I emailed

 

[timrie6]

I did? sorry mattycoss.
Thankyou so much for helping guys

 

[timrie6]

thanks so much mma19!

 

[Calculon]

Didn't email because petitions never do anything, otherwise we'd have downsized our army to one bloke sitting in a watchtower at Cape York like the SA want us to.

 

[timrie6]

If we get enough objections we will have a case to put a stop to the expansion!

 

[Calculon]

Depends. If you're talking lots of objections in the general area, yes. But if you get objections from unsourced Sydney randoms who it really doesn't affect it's not going to have much of a bearing on their decision.

Meh, either way I hope you manage to keep your land or milk out a nice settlement.

'sydney randoms' have just as much importance if they object, as it also affects them. climate change and further destruction of the environment will affect us all, and people can object simply on those grounds

You cant really protest on account of greenhouse gas, and businesses are alot more aware of water usage now, alot of places in Wollongong are starting to use grey water and recycled waste water instead. Besides its not like water gets used up, you can use it again and again.

If you are so peeved about coal being environmentally damaging, try and push for nuclear power.

The hectares of bush being chopped down gets to me, thats one thing that has always pissed me off. If the company environmentally aware maybe you can make them repair the site once they are done, or replant a new tree for every one they have to destroy... heaps of companies do that.

I am not going to send a letter because its environmentalists that have forced us to use coal instead of uranium anyway, but goodluck and i hope your family doesnt get wroughted out of their land

I've done alot of research and you can protest on those grounds. Approximately 12ML diesel will be used per year for mining, estimate of 382,620,000Kg CO2 gas produced.

The mine will destroy and pollute water sources, above and underground.
The Infrastructure is sited directly adjacent two major rivers, both will be subject to pollution.

Mining will breach and ultimately destroy the valuable and extensive groundwater and river system associated with the Goulburn River. Pumping from underground mine lowers ground water up to 20 kilometres away and with long lasting effects on the upper Triassic aquifers for over 45 years after mining. Riparian forest ecosystems are threatened by lowering of groundwater (Triassic aquifer) that provide essential base flow to the Goulburn River.

If you are so peeved about coal being environmentally damaging, try and push for nuclear power.

or I could push for them to stop expanding! I'm all for clean energy

Unfortunately, the long term and cumulative impacts of these developments on the groundwater or river system is impossible to assess in the time frame allowed. The Environmental Report is inconsistent and inadequate e.g. Timeline for the rehabilitation of open cut area is unrealistic, overall plans sketchy, with no detail. Inadequate consultation and recognition of significant cultural landscape nor extensive damage to aboriginal heritage including cave shelters & rock art.

have you considered going to the media

today tonight in particular

good point. this was the first I'd heard about it

 

[^CoSMic DoRiS^^]

sorry to hear it. i emailed. hope it works out for you.

Its an issue more suited for the ABC. Make a video for ABC's Stateline DIY dissent segment. Most of the people who matter probally watch Stateline.

"If you live in NSW, have a local issue and want to target a minister, please call or write to Murray Travis, Executive Producer of Stateline about your proposed DIY Video Dissent."

 

[Captain Gh3y]

12MT hey? That's quite impressive. You ought to be thankful, it may do wonders for the local economy.

As for your house, well, that's progress.

 

[timrie6]

therefore, 10 emails sent under various aliases.

nice! cheers

my mum organised to have a reporter come to do a segment covering it, it should be on the ABC soon, I'll update here when I find out when and where. I'm not 100% but think it will be on stateline. shes been very active, putting all her time into stopping the mine, she made the website, organised public meeting etc

sorry to hear it. i emailed. hope it works out for you.

thanks so much!

it will be destroying the ecotourism in the area, turning the area into an industrial wasteland

those are just sample letters, you can choose anyone you like, modify them to suit you, or even write your own - completely up to you!
