Welcome to Lock the Gate Alliance

The Lock the Gate Alliance is a national grassroots organisation made up of over 120,000 supporters and more than 450 local groups who are concerned about risky coal mining, coal seam gas and fracking.

Located in all parts of Australia, these groups include farmers, traditional custodians, conservationists and urban residents, working to protect their land and water and deliver sustainable solutions to food and energy needs.
Established in 2010 following community meetings in New South Wales and Queensland, the Lock the Gate Alliance is on a mission to protect Australia’s natural, cultural and agricultural resources from inappropriate mining and to educate and empower all Australians to demand sustainable solutions to food and energy production.

Through its organisation and campaigning against inappropriate mining, the Alliance has five central aims:

1. To protect Australia’s water systems.

2. To protect Australia’s agricultural land for food and fibre production.

3. To protect Australia’s bushlands, wetlands and wildlife.

4. To protect the health of all Australians.

5. To protect Australia’s Aboriginal and cultural heritage.
