This campaign is against fracking in Geelong, VIC.
This campaign invited prospective investors to “pledge” investment in the community solar project.
Replace Hazelwood: Environment Victoria successfully campaigned for the federal government to commit to retiring 2000 megawatts of Australia’s most polluting coal-fired power as part of the carbon price package. Unfortunately, in September 2012, the federal government walked away this commitment, dashing our hopes to have a clear closing date for Hazelwood.
On 27 July 2012 the nail was put in the HRL coffin when the federal government withdrew its $100 million grant to the proposed coal plant. This achievement is a great example of what a strong community campaign can achieve.
This campaign opposed Rey Resources' proposal to build the first coal mine in the Kimberley, 5km from the Fitzroy River.
