Our Aim is to provide advocacy and assist with community engagement and monitoring services to help landowners and community members who are already or may be impacted by invasive mining and gas pipeline activities. Our goal is to act now with strength and strategic planning.
We Aim to protect and preserve our natural assets such as groundwater, the Great Artesian Basin, food security, forests, farms, Indigenous cultural heritage and values and flora and fauna.
We Seek environmental justice, aiming to uphold and improve our existing environmental laws and preserve intergenerational equity (leave more for our kids, not less).
Our Mission is to provide urgently needed, frontline, practical assistance and advocacy for communities under threat. We will share our expertise to support vulnerable communities faced with the onslaught of Coal Seam Gas, major coal expansions and the linked industrial intensification they entail.
NWPA Members have continually proven how beneficial the relationships between locals, Traditional Owners, farming communities and committed environmentalists can be by effectively halting the CSG industry in NSW for many years. Unconventional gas mining (Narrabri Gas Project) has been approved by the IPC in NSW and Queensland continues to bear the brunt of the invasive and damaging industry threatening the integrity of the Great Artesian Basin.
Join us, we are always seeking new volunteers to join us so please get in touch at northwestpa@protonmail.com and together we will help to stop further damage to country and community.
Our account is open for donations: Every single dollar that is given to us allows our volunteers to continue the essential work of protecting the north-west. All contributions, large or small, are very much appreciated.

Agh… you can’t blame our governments…an easy mistake to make, letting foreign owned companies export almost all of our gas to the point we have to start importing, forgetting to charge them for it, letting them price gouge us… we all make mistakes!…
Narrabri Underground coal mine, destroyer of groundwater and safe climate, currently supported by Korean #POSCO corporation. Please stop propping up Whitehaven, a company with a very bad reputation.
And that’s what they are measuring using “emissions factors”. Wait until they start measuring actual emissions, or will @albo stand in the way of evidence-based GHG emissions reporting? We say probably yes.
David Littleproud on #insiders has big issues with renewables but has no problem with coal seam gas mining in #Maranoa depleting and contaminating groundwater in the #GreatArtesianBasin
