Jerrys Plains is a beautiful and historic farming community located in the Hunter Valley, NSW. 'Jerrys' has a unique combination of wineries, horse studs, beef cattle and lucerne farming, in addition to being located at the foothills of the world heritage listed Wollemi National Park.
Coal mining companies Wambo, Resco and Doyles Creek Mine have announced plans to mine Jerrys Plains and surrounding areas of Appletree Flat and Doyles Creek.
Coal mining threatens to destroy forever the social fabric of Jerrys, in addition to the irreversible environmental destruction and decimation of its existing valuable food growing areas through loss of underground water, land clearing and mine subsidence.
We, the undersigned, call on the NSW State Government to protect Jerrys Plains and surrounding areas of Appletree Flat and Doyles Creek from coal mining, and any projects directly associated with coal mining activities.
The once richly productive Hunter Valley is being decimated by coal mining, and one of the last of those remaining food production areas, Jerrys Plains, needs urgent protection from the environmental destruction that coal mining brings.
