FREE Environmental Defender’s Office (EDO) seminar on Coal seam gas
Three companies are currently exploring for coal seam gas (CSG) and conventional gas in the Clarence Moreton Basin , which covers much of the Northern Rivers. Metgasco Limited already has approval for a gas-fired power station near Casino and is currently seeking planning approval for a gas pipeline from Casino over the Border Ranges to Ipswich . There is already one Petroleum Exploration Licence over part of the Tweed Valley , and Macquarie Energy is currently seeking another.
Various environmental and legal concerns have been raised about CSG by affected communities. The EDO is holding a public seminar to provide information about what is happening in NSW and the region generally and the Tweed Valley in particular; discuss some of the potential environmental impacts; explain the approval processes; and inform the community about their legal rights.
Where : CWA Hall, 20 Queen St, Murwillumbah
When : Thursday 9 June 2011, 6-8 pm
No need to book.
