The issue
The New South Wales Independent Planning Commission (IPC) has approved a massive
open-cut lead mine at Lue in the beautiful Mudgee tourist region. Airborne toxic lead dust,
heavy metal contaminants and acid mine drainage will have an immense impact on
Mudgee's long-term health, tourism, agriculture and wineries.
This vast lead mine at Lue is just the beginning. Licenses for Bowdens Silver Ltd to
explore metallic mineral deposits closer to Mudgee and Rylstone have been approved.
Their activities will lead to extensive toxic heavy metal mining throughout the Mudgee
Region - an area of outstanding natural beauty and ecological diversity.
Under current planning laws, an appeal can only be made if it can proved that the IPC
didn’t follow process, NOT the overwhelming evidence that show the unmanageable
impacts of the mine.
Our community wants to appeal the decision so we can protect our region. To do that, we
have to get the planning laws changed. We need supporters and a strong VOICE from
people like you. Sign this petition for your family, your community and your region.
Please help us save the Mudgee Region and sign our petition!
