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 have just passed legislation to allow the raising of Warragamba Dam, drowning habitat critical to the survival of the Regent honeyeater, NSW's most endangered bird.

Raising the Warragamba Dam wall by 14 metres would drown old-growth forests in the Burragorang Valley, located 60km west of Sydney's CBD. Regent honeyeaters both nest and feed in these forests, with only 400 birds left in the wild.

If you don’t want too see this magnificent bird species become extinct, take action today.

Sign here now, and tell the NSW government to drop its dam plan.

The Regent Honeyeater is critically endangered, and the most threatened bird in NSW. Leading ecologists have said flooding the Burragorang Valley will be tantamount to signing off on the bird’s extinction. The NSW Government have already tried to cover up the existence of the bird in the area, embarrassed that they wish to destroy one of the most important breeding sites left for the species.
