Gloucester CSG blockade continues

A group of Gloucester landowners blockading a coal seam gas (CSG) mining project says it is determined to continue its action.

The residents are trying to prevent AGL moving drilling equipment onto a property where it has development approval for a 110-well gas field.

A Gloucester vineyard owner, Robyn Dugas, says the group spent another night blocking access to the property.

She says it is expected police will try and break up the blockade today.

"We've already had the police arrive at least four or five times each day but I do believe now that there is no trucks going through we may have some kind of forced issue," she said.
