Re: A Submission on PELA 158 lodged by Ceemac Pty Ltd

I submit that PELA 158 should be rejected.

Exploration and mining of minerals is prohibited by the National Parks and Wildlife Act, and breaches the intent and objectives of the Wilderness Act.

The International Council on Mining and Metals stipulate it is against international best practice to mine within, or adjacent to, a World Heritage Area.

The area covered by the PELA covers a significant part of the catchment for Sydney's water supply. CSG mining in the Pilliga has caused water pollution with uranium levels 20 times above safe drinking water guidelines.

Leaks of highly flammable methane gas from CSG exploitation are common. The Blue Mountains is already a highly bushfire-prone area. Additional threat posed by fire to the ecology, lives, homes and livelihoods of its residents cannot be justified.

Tourism is the Blue Mountains only real industry; the basis for that tourism is its World Heritage status. Almost all businesses in the Mountains depend on tourism in some way. Damage to its ecology could cause loss of this status, and an economic disaster for the region.

Blue Mountains City Council has declared this area CSG free. We the people do not want it here.
