About

Welcome

Please explore our site and help the NO COAL!tion campaign save the beautiful environment of Western Australia’s South West Capes region from disruption and pollution by proposed coal mining.

NO COAL!tion is working to prevent:

  • Potentially toxic coal mining in the Margaret River town water-catchment area
  • The proposed mine that would penetrate the fragile Leederville aquifer underpinning the Margaret and Blackwood Rivers
  • A huge industrial process  that would damage the region’s pristine international tourism brand and wine industry
  • Pollution of the air, soil and water with the waste products of coal mining, including carcinogenic heavy metals and bio-destructive acids and salts
  • Increased heavy traffic on the region’s roads which would increase accident risks for tourists and locals
  • The potential for enduring damage to the environment through subsidence of the land above the mine tunnels
  • This mine would be the thin edge of a coal mining wedge that would be driven through the heart of the Capes Region from Dunsborough  to Augusta

Help stop this potential social and environmental disaster before it becomes more than just a BAD IDEA!

Follow the menus to learn more and, as our site develops over coming weeks, come back to take direct action online.
