On behalf of the members of Climate Action Now Wingecarribee, Inc. I advise that we OPPOSE the proposed Hume Coal Mine Project.
The detrimental impacts of continuing to burn coal over the short to long term are addressed in the attached files.
As citizens, taxpayers and rate payers in the local area we invoke our rights to breathe clean air free of contaminants, drink clean water free of contamination, operate other economic activities unencumbered by the operation of a coal mine in the Wingecarribee Shire.
We encourage the proponents, those charged with approval of the project, the NSW Government and Australian Government to take seriously the very real threats to the population's health and well being and negative impact on economic activity in the Wingecarribee Shire, State of NEW South Wales and the country by continuing to ignore the warnings of the climate scientists whose reports are attached.
