CreatorSouth Coast Organisation Opposing Pollution (S.C.O.O.P.)Date1969-1973DescriptionThe South Coast Organisation Opposing Pollution (S.C.O.O.P.) was established on 13 September 1970 as a committee of the Hughes Federal Electorate Council (A.L.P.) to inquire into and publicise the activities of Clutha Development Pty. Ltd. The company proposed constructing a railway line between its coal mines in the Burragorang to the coastal village of Coalcliff, where a stockpile and marine terminal would be established. When the N.S.W. Parliament passed the Clutha Development Pty Limited Agreement Act in December 1970, S.C.O.O.P. joined with other concerned bodies to establish the Clutha Committee. This committee acted as the co-ordinating force in the campaign against Clutha. On 8 February 1972 the Clutha company announced the abandonment of its plans, S.C.O.O.P. was disbanded in that same month.Collection NameSouth Coast Organisation Opposing Pollution (S.C.O.O.P.)UOW Archival Collection Inventories
