If approved it will extend coal mining in the valley for decades.
Schools and hundreds of homes are within the 5km health danger zone of the project's first stage. Future expansion could be as close as 1km from the built up area of Gloucester.
The source of health and environmental problems will be closer to people and the risks will last longer than the Stratford mine.
In a world of oversupply and industry decline due to energy competition why should another coal mine be imposed on the rural community of Gloucester?

I live in the Blue Mountains and understand the inportance of our environment and the value of tourism to NSW and Australia.
Mining is shown to cause long term health issues to the population both employed within it, but also those who are unfortunate enough to be within close proximity.
I feel very strongly, that there should be NO NEW COAL MINES developed, due to the enormous impact burning coal has on global warming. Investment in renewable energy would better serve the population of Gloucester, Australia and our planet.
