We've been campaigning to stop a new coal mine at Bacchus Marsh for years. The minerals exploration licence for coal held by Mantle Mining and Exergen in the Bacchus Marsh area expires this month (2016). We have asked Lily D'Ambrosio to put the Mantle/Exergen licence on hold – not to renew it – pending the outcome of the review. Would you be able to write to her to express your support for our request?
