Quinninup, a tiny south west town is under threat by a potential silica mine on its doorstep.
Our Town Is Under Threat Please Help Us Save Quinninup
Quinninup is a small, thriving community in the Southern Forest Region of Western Australia.
Our town is under threat from a planned silica mine at the edge of the township in a karri and jarrah forest next to a lake.
Proposed by Allup Silica and called Antwalker, the prospectus predicts the removal of 20 to 40 million tonnes of sand from a six square kilometre area of cleared forest.
60 tonne double semi trailer trucks every 6 minutes - 24 hours per day 7 days a week...for 30 years!!
This will affect not only Quinninup, but all communities along the South West Highway to Bunbury and Muirs Highway to Mount Barker and Albany.
The people of Quinninup and surrounding areas are fighting against this planned catastrophe...please join our fight!
We need you to help...sign the petition, make a donation, email your member of parliament.
STOP ALLUP SILICA
Please help us preserve our forest community against this destructive mine.
