Add your voice – Tell the EPA to reject Alcoa’s forest mining plans

The Environment Protection Authority (EPA) has called for public submissions on Alcoa’s bauxite mining expansion plans and current mining.

This is your chance to voice your concerns about Alcoa’s plan to clear Jarrah forests and put Perth’s drinking water at risk for their profits.

WA Forest Alliance (WAFA) are preparing a detailed response to Alcoa’s destructive plans that will address our concerns about:

  • the expansion plan to clear over 7,500ha of Northern Jarrah Forest to mine bauxite
  • the threat to Perth’s drinking water posed by strip mining activity within Reservoir Protection Zones and broader water catchment areas
  • the failed rehabilitation program run by Alcoa and the inability to successfully regrow Jarrah forests

You can sign on now and we will add your name to WAFA’s submission when it is completed. 

Or, you can also sign up here to be sent a copy as soon as it is ready and an opportunity to add your name.

Alternatively, you can write your own submission. A guide by WA Forest Alliance is now available, to make it easy for you to make a submission. You can get a copy of the guide, and find out more here. You can add your name to WAFA’s submission and make your own submission. 

Please contact us at info@endforestmining.org.au if you have questions, need help with your submission, or just want to chat.

Submissions close 21 August 2025. 

More information is available on the EPA website here
