The Greens say the Hunter's vineyard area will be on the brink of ruin if it's not better protected from mining, development and coal seam gas projects.
Greens MP John Kaye has joined Cessnock Greens Mayoral candidate James Ryan and Council candidate David Atwell in calling for Government support for new protection legislation.
Mr Kaye says there is also a need to preserve the historic area of Wollombi.
"Wollombi is really sitting at the cusp," he said.
"If we don't get legislated protection for this unique village and area around in the very near future it will go and it will lose all of its special character.
"We're determined as Greens to make sure that doesn't happen."
