The NSW Government have just passed legislation to allow the raising of Warragamba Dam, drowning World Heritage-listed wilderness areas in the Blue Mountains.

Raising the Warragamba Dam wall by 14 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 NSW government to drop its dam plan.

The Blue Mountains National Park that would be inundated is World Heritage listed, and 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.

There’s a state election scheduled for March 2019 and the Berejiklian government needs to win all the favour it can.

So please, add your name to the petition today. Tell the Premier you GIVE A DAM about 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. 

The NSW Government does not need another public relations disaster. It was embarrassed by widespread disgust at the use of the Opera House to promote gambling. And community outrage forced it to back down on development plans for Sydney’s Inner West.

Help change the government’s views – before it changes yours.

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.
