The Upper Hunter Progress Association has initiated a Petition about the Bickham Coal mine to be presented to the NSW Parliament in May.
As the HTBA has done, the Petition also calls on the State Government to not renew Bickham’s exploration licenses (which expire on May 27th) and to amend the State Environment Planning Policy to prohibit underground mining at the Bickham site.
The Petition will be available to sign at the Singleton Land Use Forum on Friday 13th and at the Farmers' Rally in Sydney on May 1st and at the Scone Horse Parade on Saturday 12th May. There are also copies at Kerv, Scone Veterinary Practice and Marsh Carney in Scone and the Gundy General Store.
