Well done SWAG! it just shows that just because they have the money they don't necessarily have the brains to be developers.

You don't make the grade by lying to the residents, and all in all a huge pot of bribery and corruption!

They say money speaks all languages - just not SWAG language or our local dialect!

GIVE UP LWP - this is not a State Significant Site and never will be.

You can fool the people in WA - not the residents of Branxton and North Rothbury.

Congratulations to Chris Parker and all those involved in SWAG's just cause- you won against all the odds and showed that a good cause is indeed worth fighting for. Many of us wondered how such an unsuitable site could ever be promoted to the status of State Significant Site. After all, the experts in the State Planning Department had placed it last in a lengthy list of sites for possible development when the draft Hunter Region Development Plan was first presented to the public. The developers never offered any valid explanation for how and why it was elevated from its lowly status .

well done to all the people involved who have worked long and hard to stop this project.

it gives us ordinary people hope that justice will prevail over developers who think they can overide the wishes of the majority. just the start, local people will have a say in what happens in their area. again. well done.

WELL WHAT CAN BE SAID I THINK THE COURT CASES HAVE SAID IT ALL. GO FIHD SOME SUITABLE LAND ALREAD Y MOSTLY CLEARED ;NOT AN OLD MINE LEASE WITH CONTINUED SUBSIDANCE UP THE VALLEY CLOSER TO THE EVERMOVING MINING EMPLOYMENT AND TRY AGAIN WE NEVER CHOSE TO LIVE A COUNTRY LIFESTLLE SURROUNDER BY A MONSTROTITY

Another demonstration of how hopeless Cessnock Council is. Great for the locals of Branxton & Nth Rothbury. And great to see Councillor Chris Parker standing up against these money grabbing companies.

More jobs down the drain.

Correct planning and consultation is all that we ask. That obviously does not include corruption, bribery and lack of competance.

On the other hand more houses are very important especially for our young people and they have to be put somewhere.

So the Land & Environment Court has found what the The Govt's senior planning bureaucrats & the community new all along.

Bad location! Bad planning! Inadequate transport! DUMB! DUMB! DUMB! So they'll decide court costs. What about the 1000's of hours of unpaid community time spent fighting this Dumb Dumb Dumb political overriding of sensible planning.

YES BIGFELLA GO FIND THEM SOME NICE CLEARED LAND ELSWHERE AND LEAVE OUR LITTLE VILLAGES ALONE, SRORE PEOPLE NEED SOMEWHERE TO LIVE BUT NOT ON AN OLD UDERGROUND MINING THAT HAS CONTINUAL SUBSIDANCE PROBLEMS AND IS SO CONTOMINATED BY THE WASHING OF COAL ONTHE SITE. TAILING CELLS FULL OF MAGANITE AND SULPHUR THEN ALL THE REJERCT DUMPS RUBBISH DUMPS AND GRAVEL QUARRIES , WHAT A JOKE TO EVEN CONSIDER THIS SITE,

Yes Bigfella we do need houses for the young people. Huntlee was number 91 on the list so these young people should look a bit higher up the list and find a place more suitable.
