The recently completed Upper House Parliamentary Enquiry into Koala Populations and Habitat in New South Wales predicts the extinction of koalas by 2050, unless immediate action is taken. The NSW Government has just listed the Brandy Hill Quarry Expansion to be fast tracked. This proposal will see the bulldozing of over 50 hectares of koala habitat. It would be insanity for the Berejiklian government to ignore this report and allow the destruction of koala habitat in this area.

The benefit of this project is minimal. Hundreds of trucks will leave the quarry each day, many making a 5 hour round trip to Sydney, clogging the already deteriorating roads for a load of gravel.
