If a new open cut coal mine were to go ahead in Moorabool Shire it would have a devastating impact on our environment and community. We need to everyone to get involved to stop that happening! Get involved, Moorabool Shire is worth fighting for. Check out this 5 minute documentary which touches on some of the issues of concern.
After almost a year of trying to engage with Moorabool Council on supporting the Moratorium on new coal and coal seam gas, Council finally addressed the issue at a Council Meeting in May 2013. THANK YOU to all you supported us in the lead up, came to the Council Meeting, and to those who spoke at the Council Meeting on Wednesday 15th May 2013. See the Media Coverage page for news reports of the Council voting 5-2 to support the Moratorium.
