It is time to safeguard the Murrumbidgee River and the communities of Oura and Wagga Wagga from the looming threat of inappropriate industrial development. The proposed construction of a private abattoir and power station near the River and Oura Village poses a real risk to the environment and the drinking water for Wagga, Oura and surrounding towns.

Such industrialisation would permanently alter the riverine landscape, result in unacceptable ecological risks near a flood zone and protected wetlands, and leaves the door wide open to future abattoir expansion. And despite community concerns, the billionaire proponents are ignoring better alternative locations.  

Join us now to protect the environment and drinking water, as well as ensuring the long term purity and tranquility of the Murrumbidgee River and the natural beauty of its countryside. Sign the petition and please tell as many of your friends as possible - we really do need all the help we can get in this 'David versus Goliath' battle.
