AGL has called on protestors blockading access to a drill rig site to allow the company to “respect its right” to go about its “lawful activities”.
On Monday afternoon a group of landholders and residents formed the blockade at the intersection of Jacks Road and Maslens Lane.
About 10 slept people slept onsite on Monday night and by this morning that number had grown to more than 20.
Spokesman Steve Robinson said the blockade will remain in place indefinitely.
An appeal has been lodged with the Land and Environment Court over the State Government’s approval of the AGL gas project earlier this year, before the state election.
Mr Robinson said while the appeal was being heard no drilling should be taking place.
