Help make NSW the first gas-free coastline

Help make NSW the first gas-free coastline

Draft legislation that aims to make NSW the first gas-free coastline in Australia has been introduced to the NSW Parliament. Legislation like this is exactly what is needed to stop offshore fossil fuel projects—like PEP-11—before they start.

Right now, the bill is before an inquiry and we have a powerful opportunity to make our voices heard. The Wilderness Society is making a submission to the inquiry about the reasons why a legislated ban on offshore fossil fuel exploration and mining is essential to limit the worst impacts of global heating and protect ocean biodiversity.

Draft legislation that aims to make NSW the first gas-free coastline in Australia has been introduced to the NSW Parliament. Legislation like this is exactly what is needed to stop offshore fossil fuel projects—like PEP-11—before they start.

Right now, the bill is before an inquiry and we have a powerful opportunity to make our voices heard. The Wilderness Society is making a submission to the inquiry about the reasons why a legislated ban on offshore fossil fuel exploration and mining is essential to limit the worst impacts of global heating and protect ocean biodiversity.

Communities have worked tirelessly over years to defend the places we love from projects like PEP-11.

Will you add your name now to the Wilderness Society’s submission to help ensure we never have to fight another offshore gas proposal in NSW again?

Together, we’ll show the inquiry committee there is overwhelming community support for an end to offshore fossil fuel mining and ensure this is noted in the committee’s report. This, in turn, can influence the outcome of the draft legislation.

Will you add your name to the Wilderness Society’s submission in favour of a gas-free coast and show you care about protecting the precious NSW coastline from projects like PEP-11?

By adding your name to the Wilderness Society’s submission, you'll be supporting the following:

  • A legislated ban on fossil fuel exploration and mining.

  • The need for government and business to drastically scale back fossil fuels to stay within safe limits of global heating, because the era for fossil fuel exploration is over.

  • Communities who’ve been fighting projects like PEP-11 for years deserve the certainty of legislation that will help fight the dual climate and biodiversity crises we face.
