Reject Maules Creek Expansion!

The NSW Government has an opportunity to prevent climate- and environment-damaging actions by Whitehaven Coal, a company seeking to expand its Maules Creek mine. Email Paul Scully, the NSW Minister for Planning and Public Spaces to express your concerns. Whitehaven Coal is a criminally convicted operator with a proven track record of incompetence, showing blatant disregard for community well-being, safety, climate, and the environment. We urge the government not to support this company in any capacity. Minister Scully must reject Whitehaven Coal's request to expand the Maules Creek mine or to increase the scope of coal mining in New South Wales.

Subject:

The NSW Government currently has the power to reject the expansion of criminally convicted coal company Whitehaven Coal’s massive Maules Creek mine. This controversial mine and its criminal operator were convicted by the NSW Land and Environment Courts for criminally incompetent overloading of a blast.

Whitehaven Coal exceeded safety limits and used an additional 41,404 kilograms of explosive in this blast that affected properties and people up to 30 kilometres from the mine. The impact this may have had on local wildlife and environment is difficult to assess but likely to have been significant as well.

Whitehaven Coal has been fined, investigated, or convicted more than 35 times since its establishment and it continues to show little remorse or care for the communities and environment that it operates in.

We urge you to  reject the Maules Creek expansion and any other Whitehaven Coal projects and prevent this irresponsible operator from inflicting further harm to our communities and environment.

Your actions will also significantly reduce the likelihood of worsening climate change - effects of which are clearly being felt across communities in Northern NSW as they face continued flooding and damage just weeks after ex Tropical Cyclone Alfred.

These communities are increasingly blaming government lack of action on their plight and we urge you to listen to their voices as you make your decision. We can already see what is in store for us if we continue to let Whitehaven Coal do as they do.

Minister Scully, stand on the right side of history and make sure Whitehaven Coal cannot get away with acting as criminals and then continuing business as usual.
