Cullen residents out in force to oppose mine

11 Feb, 2012 04:00 AM
OVER 200 people have signed a petition objecting to the Coalpac Consolidation Project proposed by Coalpac Pty Ltd at Cullen Bullen.The newly formed Cullen Bullen Committee, established to take action against the project, collected the signatures from local residents before a meeting late last week.
The project, if it proceeds, will see the expansion of mining operations at the Cullen Valley and Invincible coal mines and establishment of a new quarry and associated infrastructure.
The information forum focused on the dangers the project could have on the Cullen Bullen community. 
The petition is a way for residents to formally object to the project.
Members of the committee say the residents are objecting to several points about the project.
For full details and a list of concerns from residents pick up a Lithgow Mercury.
