The Conservation Council of WA is the state’s foremost non-profit, non-government conservation organisation.
CCWA has been an outspoken advocate for conservation and a sustainable Western Australia for more than 50 years, working directly with the government, media, industry, community groups, and political parties to promote a more sustainable WA and to protect our natural environment.
Through advocacy, community engagement, policy development, science, and on-the-ground projects, we help create a sustainable future that all Western Australians can look forward to.
As WA’s peak environmental group we represent more than one hundred Member Groups throughout the state, as well as tens of thousands of individuals. We connect with and amplify the voice of this growing network, which covers diverse aims and interests - from promoting renewable energy to the protection of native bushland and wildlife.
its in the middle of know where and that's is where the mine should be Uranium is the best power we can have. mining uranium is easy and safe and is best for our great country
This is not no-where - it's part of peoples homelands, hunting grounds, and is part of a priority ecological community - the Yellow sandplain priority ecological community and is one of just three regions left on the planet where the endangered Sandill Dunnart survive. Mining uranium has a track record of leaks, spills and accidents - and the executive team at Paladin are no strangers to scandal.
i read the entire feasibility study and all the environmental studies performed prior for all of DY's and vimy's projects. it's so clear cut how legitimate this operation is, and how good the merger is for all shareholders, i'm not sure why you'd bother lying about this. not surprising that you can only get five people on camera to pretend to protest though. like the whole rest of the world, you're getting nuclear power whether you like it or not, your power bill will be cut in half, and wind and solar will finally have true LCOEs that aren't total lies backed by burning natgas. you're welcome!
The feasibility study ( and the one before it) don't actually assess the project that is approved - the project assessed in the feasibility study is fundamentally different to the project that has an approval. Variations to the approval under an anti uranium government are unlikely.
Mining uranium is not a carbon free activity. nuclear power is slow, expensive, and increasingly insecure in a changing climate and in amongst growing political and military tensions. The Zaporizhzhia nuclear reactor in Ukraine has been under military occupation since the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine and has suffered multiple black outs - the reactor is on the brink and has been slow to shut down to avoid a major nuclear disaster. Australia sold uranium to Ukraine - against all warnings and advice - as we did to TEPCO despite a litany of safety breaches leading up to the Fukushima nuclear disaster. The impact of mining and selling uranium are far reaching beyond carbon emissions. Like all things nuclear the problems persist - yes well beyond the 1980's.
Congratulations, forests are the lungs on land as the oceans are the lungs for marine life. Lovely news to see mature decisions have been announced. The more support from individuals to share knowledge and wisdom to why it's so important to preserve and protect natural areas, for one of many reasons, it holds value to science, medicinal findings through new discoveries made from Native Plantlife as one example. If people have a healthy mindset, then one can accept the importance and reasoning to why it's essential to create legislations. Continue the wonderful effort in support of communities.... A Big thank you ❤️
