Margaret River wine producers are fighting a continuous battle to protect their region, as further mining proposals and new brewery developments encroach on vineland.
The Margaret River agricultural community is gearing up to protest against Canada-based Western Coal's exploration plans at a court hearing scheduled for 29 September.
Western Coal was granted an exploration licence in April to asses the viability of mining in the region, a decision which will be protested by Save Our Southwest, a coalition of dairy farmers, beef farmers, goat farmers, avocado growers, wine makers, grape growers, and 'everyone who lives in the Capes who depend on groundwater for our future', the organisation said.
