If they stop mining on conservation land the west coast
population will drop because people will have no
jobs and will have to find jobs somewhere else.
Only 16% of the west coast land in not docs
or guardianship land. This does not leave much
land left for mining. If they go ahead with
the no mining on doc land then the west coast
population will drop 30% because there are not enough jobs
for the miners to all go to yes they could become farmers but
some people don't own much and it does cost heaps to buy land
