We will forward the petition to:
Daniel Andrews; [email protected]
Greg Hunt: [email protected]
Stating that:
We believe the development of the Port of Hastings will negatively impact on the environmental, economic and social value of Western Port and Phillip Island and should not proceed.
Why is this important?
The expansion to accommodate a projected 3000 ships per year will involve massive dredging, dumping of dredge spoil, land reclamation, risk of oil spills, air pollution, beach and cliff erosion associated with channel deepening, and loss of habitat. This has the potential to destroy the Western Port we know, love, and depend upon. Our beaches, fishing, wildlife, tourism economy, clean air, clean water. Western Port is a wetland of international significance, and Australia has obligations to look after it under the Ramsar treaty. Please take some time to learn about the proposed port expansion and its likely impacts. To stay up to date visit http://preservewesternport.org.au and http://www.wppcinc.org Thanks!
