YORKE PENINSULA DISTRICT COUNCIL CANDIDATES’ RESPONSES TO QUESTIONS POSED BY YORKE PENINSULA
LAND OWNERS GROUP
LARGE-SCALE OPEN- CUT MINING ON YORKE PENINSULA
On behalf of its 250+ members, YPLOG asked each candidate for the upcoming Yorke Peninsula District Council elections to provide their responses to three questions, namely:
- Do you believe large-scale open-cut copper mining can co-exist with agriculture on Yorke Peninsula? Please give reasons for your response.
- In your view, how do you believe Rex Minerals’ proposed Hillside Copper Mine will impact on Yorke Peninsula?
- Mining tenements cover over 95% of Yorke Peninsula. When mining proposals are put forward for consideration, what do you envisage your role as an Elected Member will be?
All responses received are provided in full in the attached document.
We sincerely thank the candidates for taking the time to respond to our questions.
If you have not yet voted, we ask that you consider each candidate’s responses carefully when doing so. We urge you to vote for those candidates who oppose the establishment of such mines on YP,
especially the Hillside Mine at Pine Point.
If you have decided not to vote, please reconsider! Your vote for candidates who oppose Hillside and other such mining developments on YP will make a difference!
WE URGE YOU TO TAKE THE TIME TO READ THE CANDIDATES’ RESPONSES
