Rylstone should have been spared the trauma of the NSW Government’s coal obsession

Nature Conservation Council Chief Executive, Chris Gambian said:

“It is great news that the threat of coal mining, which has hung for almost a year over the heads of the Rylstone community, has now been lifted.

“They should never have been subjected to the emotional trauma of resisting this outrageous proposal in the first place.

“Now these good people can get on with their lives.

“The NSW Government should never again approve a coal or gas project in NSW.

“We simply can’t afford it, for the climate, for nature and for our kids.”
