Communities have come together for over ten years to push for a ban on fracking across WA and have had great wins along the way!

But now a Texan billionaire wants to frack in the Kimberley near the Martuwarra Fitzroy River, and fracking is NOT banned in much of the Kimberley.

With a new term of government and a raft of new MPs - we need people across WA to join us to achieve a ban on fracking in the Kimberley.

Kimberley Under Threat

The Kimberley region has some of the largest, intact, natural landscapes left in the world. It has globally significant wetlands, free-flowing river systems and pristine oceans, and provides refuge for threatened wildlife that have disappeared from most of Australia.  The Kimberley is also a culturally rich region, home to a living Aboriginal culture that is tens of thousands of years old. But all this is at risk. This iconic region in North West WA has been identified as having some of the largest untapped shale gas and tight sands gas reserves in the world, and companies are gearing up to frack for gas.

Tell your MP and the Premier to ban fracking

Don’t leave people in a sacrifice zone. If fracking is too risky for the people of the South West, Perth and Peel regions where it’s banned, it’s too risky for the Kimberley and the rest of WA too.

We call on you to ban fracking in the Kimberley.
