With climate change well underway and the North Queensland economy in trouble, there has never been a better time to begin the renewable transition to renewable energies.

We're ramping up our campaign to keep coal mines and coal seam gas (CSG) out of our Scenic Rim. Encourage people to vote to keep their streets, localities, villages and towns Coal and CSG Free. The results are transparent, conclusive and above board - concrete, irrefutable proof that we do not want to live with coal mines and CSG production. The Coal/CSG Free Declaration might not be legally enforceable, but it gives our Council and local members an overwhelming mandate.

The construction of more footpaths and crossings

The Planning Issues campaign by HEN advocates for greater response at our local government level to improve effective protection of our natural resources, and more sustainable communities.

HEN is campaiging for the development of stronger incentives for household waste management such as food and vegetation disposal by composting or worm farms; re-use of materials such as glass containers; and refusing plastic packaging such as water bottles and single-use supermarket plastic bags and containers.
