Kia ora,

We believe in a country where our natural beauty, biodiversity, and cultural heritage are not sacrificed for the short-term profits of the few. A future where economic development builds our country up, rather than tears it open. Where every community must have a stake in building a liveable, sustainable future.

That’s why we have announced that a Green Government will commit to revoking any fast-track consents or permits for coal, gold and seabed mines handed out under the fast-track process.

Consents for destructive mining could be pushed through under fast track in Taranaki, Coromandel, Tākaka, Otago, Northland and on the West Coast. Some of the areas at risk are among our most precious, worth far more than being torn up for the short-term profit of the few.

We are asking you to share your stories, pictures, memories and hopes for these places with us, to help us share why it is so vital that we draw a line in the sand.

Please tell us your story about why we need to protect our valued spaces from fast-tracked mining destruction.

Please be patient, the form takes a second to load.
