Please see attached letter and petition.

Refer to our attached uploaded submission.

As a local company supplying to the mining industry, and with the large amount of uncertainty within the industry, we feel this project is essential for the local communities both economically and environmentally. This will give people not just jobs, but local confidence as well.

I am writing in opposition to the proposed Wallarah 2 Coal Mine.

I am vehemently opposed to this proposal for the following reasons:
1. The extraction of Fossil Fuels given our knowledge of climate change is outlandishly shortsighted

2. The Australian public is overwhelming in favour of action on climate, with new mines being pushed only by business / lobby groups (see attached 350.org.au document "350_EMC_Coal_Poll_Final.pdf")

3. There is room for so much more economic development in this area of the Central Coast; tourism, food based economies, rural escapes, agriculture. To sully these opportunities for the short term gain of fossil fuel extraction is proposterous, and really a blatant theft from future generations.

4. The area in question is the site of an up and coming grass based, ethical farming practice run by Shannon & Kylie Kelly .
Ethical, grass based farming unequivocally holds some of the keys to quickly reversing the effects of climate change by using grazing management methods that remove huge amounts of carbon from the atmosphere, whilst growing amazing forage and producing healthy, nutrient dense food - surely a win-win! You can read more about this in many places, but a great place to start is http://savory.global/. See also attached document "The Science and Methodology of Holistic Planned Grazing.pdf"

Given the legitimate public concern around fossil fuels and climate change, and the points raised above, I submit that the proopsed mine development should not be approved.

Submission on behalf of the Australian Conservation Foundation- Central Coast branch

I wish to object to the current ADA on exhibition of the Wallarah 2 Coal Project SSD 4974, and also to the further progression of the mine proposal itself.
