Gov wants to dam the Channon gorge. Please help

niggles · September 2, 2020

So I'm just going to copy paste some info here. I'm pretty pissed after we just spent so long trying to save the area from bushfires they want to fuck it all with a massive dam.

Would appreciate it if anyone would care to contact the peope listed in the submission guide and let them know its not OK.

As you would likely be aware a large dam is proposed at The Channon & Dunoon. If this project goes ahead it will have a huge impact on wildlife including threatened species. Part of what will be lost is lowland rainforest, remnant of The Big Scrub and habitat vital or many native species.
