Port Waratah Coal Services is proposing to build a fourth coal export terminal in Newcastle. We need your help to stop them. The fourth coal terminal will:
* Facilitate the expansion of coal mining in the Hunter and Liverpool Plains and nearly double the export capacity of Newcastle.
* Double the dust and the noise for communities already affected by the coal trains in Newcastle and beyond.
* Destroy rare migratory bird habitat, endangered ecological communities and habitat for nationally threatened species.
* Double the greenhouse pollution impact of the coal exported from NSW.
