Take Action: Stop fracking project in the Kimberley

Texan fracking company Black Mountain (Bennett Resources is their subsidiary) is proposing to drill and frack 20 wells, up to 1000 fracks, in the Fitzroy River Catchment in the Kimberley.

Tell the EPA today why you object to this project, and that you want it assessed as a Public Environmental Review (PER). Make sure to Click 'Submit' on the final page after clicking continue.

Let's make sure at least 1000 people are saying no to 1000 fracks in the Kimberley!

This is only just the start. The companies exploring in the Kimberley liken the amount of gas there to areas of the US where tens of thousands of wells have been fracked. It starts with a few, and quickly expands. Companies are lobbying hard to be able to export this gas.

You have a chance to help stop this dangerous project, by making sure it receives a high amount of scrutiny. The EPA has given the public only days to comment on what level of assessment this fracking project should have. Submissions close in less than a week, at midnight on 27 January.

Please make your quick objection to the EPA here.

Fill the short form, then

  • At 5: Tick 'Assess - Public environmental review'.
  • At 6: Write one line about why you are concerned, or write more (see below).
  • Click 'Continue'. Then click 'Submit' on the next page.
