efending community values against the motor sport industry

       Defending democracy and the environment in NSW

 In 2009, the NSW Parliament passed special legislation to allow the WRC Repco Rally to run through the towns, national parks and rural roads of Tweed and Kyogle Shires in the beautiful and unique Northern Rivers region.
The No Rally Group was formed to oppose this event and the
biennially for the next 20 years.
This event was enabled by the NSW Motor Sports (WRC) Act 2009, which overrode 12 planning, environmental and heritage laws
and removed all right of appeal

                              The rally review: now is the time to have your say 

           The official state government review into the impact of last September's event is underway.  Its stated purpose is
                                    ‘to determine whether future rally events should be conducted in the region’.


        It’s critical that people make submissions to the review, as the panel will not collect any data independently,
                         and will rely on submissions to make its findings on whether the rally should be held here again.

Please send any submissions you have written for the independant review on community feedback
regarding the 2009 Repco Rally in this region to:

Mike Cahill
P.O. Box 519
St Leonards
NSW 1590

or email: mabc@imcanz.com.au

Deadline
for all submissions is at 5pm on the 19th February 2010.

This is your opportunity to voice your reasons why you believe the Tweed Caldera and/or Kyogle regions are
inappropriate places to stage a world car racing rally event based on the experiences you or your local community
had during this time.
Submissions are not limited to two pages but recommended. The actual submission needs to be short but referenced material
                         (photos, documents, letters, etc) can be included in the 'supporting material' that advisers will read. This is especially important
if directing a letter/submission to a Minister.

 

No Rally Group Legal Fund
NRG has set a fundraising target of $30, 000 to pay costs incurred seeking an injunction against the rally in August 2009.
