Less than three weeks out from the State Election, the Keneally government has rejected the controversial Wallarah 2 coal mine near Wyong on the Central Coast.
Member for Wyong, David Harris, made the announcement today, hailing the decision as ‘A victory for common sense.’
congratulations to the residents who have successfully fought a giant. You have helped to secure our valuable water resource for generations to come. As a resident of Calga we are still awaiting the fait of Gosford’s water supply, with Rocla NZ ‘s proposal to remove and drain water vital for our local farmers, businesses and residents who rely on bore water. They will destroy endangered water dependant ecosystems along with peoples livlihoods including neighbouring eco tourism. Rocla NZ have operated in breach of the Water sharing plan by operating for five years without a water licence. If a normal Joe Bloe was to commit this crime we’d have the book thrown at us.
