This campaign opposed Rey Resources' proposal to build the first coal mine in the Kimberley, 5km from the Fitzroy River.
This campaign focused on the impact to barramundi by Rey Resources' proposed coal mine 4 km from Snake Creek and 5 km from the Camballin barrage, an area renowned for trophy-sized Barramundi.
This campaign opposed the plan from Woodside Petroleum and the WA Premier to turn Broome into an oil and gas town by building gas refineries on the coast at James Price Point (JPP), 50km north of Cable Beach
In the 2000s, we successfully campaigned against a government proposal to send water by canal from the Fitzroy to drought-stricken Perth. In recent years, government and industry have shown renewed enthusiasm for broadscale agriculture in the Fitzroy Valley, despite the failure of past proposals.
Our long-term strategy is to achieve a legislated fracking ban in the Kimberley (and all of WA). To prevent pollution to Kimberley aquifers, wetlands and rivers like the Fitzroy, we must move now.
