Quit Coal’s first major campaign was Stop HRL, a community campaign against plans for private company HRL, to build a 600MW coal-fired power station in the Latrobe Valley.

This campaign protested against continued government support for the Hazelwood Power Station in the Latrobe Valley, Gippsland (regarded as the most polluting power station in the developed world).
