Extract from Coalition Letter

   
     
 

“A NSW Coalition Government will not permit any coal mining in the water catchment district. Accordingly, a NSW Coalition Government, elected to Government, will ensure, by amendment of any mining lease or mining exploration permit, that the Coast’s water supply is protected.

If necessary, special legislation will be introduced into the Parliament to protect the Wyong water catchment.
