Joint Statement: Strengthening NSW Renewable Energy Zones
The renewable energy transition is a once in a generation opportunity to bring transformative benefits to our regions in NSW. We have been working with our members and key community stakeholders in the New England and Hunter Renewable Energy Zones to understand how we can get the best outcomes for nature and communities.
We are now excited to launch our joint statement, signed alongside 17 organisations, ‘Strengthening NSW Renewable Energy Zones: Joint policy recommendations to improve outcomes for nature and communities’.
Protect Sydney's drinking water from Centennial Coal's toxic waste We can reveal that one of NSW’s biggest mining companies, Centennial, has been storing wastewater from coal mine operations and is seeking permission to dump it in pristine waterways leading to Warragamba Dam. Centennial has not adopted technology that effectively cleans the wastewater of heavy metals, brine and salt toxic to aquatic life in the Blue Mountains World Heritage Area. If we don’t act now, it’s possible the NSW Government will let Centennial get away with the unconscionable and release millions of litres of toxic wastewater every single day on our doorstep. Sign our petition calling on the EPA to do what it takes to make Centennial clean up its act. FIND OUT MORE
Gardens of Stone
The Gardens of Stone is an iconic landscape located near Lithgow in the Blue Mountains.
It is an area of critical ecological and First Nations significance, home to 16 threatened ecological communities and more than 80 rare and threatened species, including the critically endangered regent honeyeater.
Despite the site’s protected status, Centennial Coal is again proposing a destructive coal mine in the area.
