Environment Groups join with farmers to protect prime agricultural land from mines

14/3/2010

Friends of the Earth and a broad alliance of environment groups have today submitted concerns in response to the Queensland Government discussion paper "Strategic Cropping Land: policy and planning framework".

Friends of the Earth spokesperson Bradley Smith says that while the groups are hopeful, the proposed framework currently falls far short of protecting good quality agricultural farmland from coal mining.

“It is a monumental step forward that some of Queensland could finally be protected from coal mining and that some coal will stay in the ground, where it cannot damage our climate,” said Mr Smith.

Help protect our food bowl from mining: make a submission now!

11/3/2010

The expanding coal industry has been invading some of Queensland's best food producing land, and farming community groups have been fighting to stay on the land. Help them by making a submission today!

Now, after over a year of campaigning by Friends of the Earth Brisbane's coal campaign, Six Degrees, the Queensland Government has announced they will change the legislation to protect good quality farmland from destructive mining expansion, and are welcoming comments on their discussion paper.

Please add your support to the creation of strong and broad protection to give certainty to landholders. The alternative is a weak policy riddled with loopholes, which is exactly what the coal industry will be lobbying for.

You can use the form on the campaign website to make a submission which will go straight to the Government. Feel free to use the example text provided, or to customise your own submission. For more information, go to the Government website here.
