Laziness, dishonesty and racism - that's the best way to describe SMEC Engineering's cultural report on Warragamba Dam.

SMEC Engineering have secretly released an Indigenous Cultural Assessment that has attempted to excuse the mass-destruction of Gundungurra heritage. Traditional Owners have been given only 40 days by SMEC to review a 2000 page Draft Cultural Assessment, and have been told they are not allowed to share it with anyone - even experts.

SMEC Engineering is a company that was banned from working in India, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka for allegations of bribery and have an extremely poor record of working with First Nations people.

SMEC Engineering is clearly in the business of white washing cultural destruction. The history and survival of a culture should not be treated as a box-ticking operation.

Any assessment by SMEC Engineering is not worth the paper it’s written on. If the NSW and Federal Governments are serious about their commitments to the World Heritage Committee, they must find a new consultancy firm.

The NSW Government want to raise the Warragamba Dam wall by 17 metres and flood the Greater Blue Mountains World Heritage Area - risking its UNESCO listing.

Raising the Warragamba Dam wall by 17 metres would drown 4,700 hectares of Blue Mountains National Parks and 65kms of wild streams upstream from the raised dam wall.

If you don’t want magnificent wild places drowned in silt-laden dam water, take action today.

Sign here now, and tell the Federal Environment Minister to step-up save one of Australia's unique UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

The Blue areas that would be inundated are home to at least 48 threatened species. The nationally threatened Camden White Gum and critically endangered Regent honeyeater would likely become extinct if the dam goes ahead.

The raising of the dam wall is a developer-driven move that will make it easier to build on flood-prone areas in Western Sydney – against the wishes of local communities.

So please, add your name to the petition today. Tell Sussan Ley to do her job to protect Sydney's wilderness backyard.

The NSW Government wants to raise Warragamba Dam wall to open the flood gate to developers.

Raising the dam wall will encourage massive over development on flood-prone areas in Penrith, Londonderry, Riverstone and Windsor - costing taxpayers $1 billion. The NSW Government plans to house an additional 134,000 people on western Sydney floodplains after the dam wall is raised.

If you don’t want high-density housing, traffic congestion, or overcrowded schools and hospitals, take action today.

Sign the petition, and tell the Government to drop its developers' dam plan.

We could not run this historic campaign without committed volunteers.

From holding stalls at community events, door knocking, letter boxing and chanting at protests - having people on the ground who GIVE A DAM is vital to the campaign's success.

Please, if you care about the natural and cultural heritage of Australia get in touch with us today!

Download posters, pamphlets, petitions, logos and banners to use at your local community event to spread the word about the campaign. All material is in the correct format to be printed at your home computer or at Officeworks.

If you have any questions or issues with this material, get in contact with us here.

The We GIVE A DAM Alliance is a collection of community groups, organisations and companies who oppose the raising of Warragamba Dam wall. The Alliance opposes the raising of Warragamba Dam wall as it places developer interest ahead of community safety, Indigenous rights and the World Heritage Convention.
