Event Details

Volunteer opportunity to oppose the Viva Energy Gas Import Terminal campaign.

Together, we can show the Minister for Planning the overwhelming community opposition to this harmful proposal. Whether you can volunteer for an hour or the entire day, your participation will make a difference. Over the coming months, these postcards will serve as a powerful demonstration of community opposition to Viva’s proposal.

Why volunteer in opposition to this project?
The Viva Energy Gas Import Terminal proposal is deeply flawed, posing serious risks to our climate, community and environment:

• A climate disaster: Adding 600,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, the project undermines our ability to meet critical emissions reduction targets.
• A safety disaster: Dangerous gas tankers would come within 220 meters of residential homes, creating unacceptable safety risks.
• Extensive dredging would harm marine life, would impact the recreational use of our beautiful bay, and spoil the view of our iconic waterfront.

We’re at a pivotal moment in the campaign, with the Planning Minister making her decision in the next few months.
