Alarm bells over CSG application : Armidale, NSW



Armidale Action on Coal Seam Gas has raised alarm bells after discovering that an application has been submitted for a Petroleum Special Prospecting Application over the entire Northern Tablelands. The group has now moved to organise a number of events to rapidly inform the local community about the risks of coal seam gas mining.

“We were alarmed to discover this last week that an application for coal seam gas ‘prospecting’ has been submitted across a vast area including the New England Tablelands and including towns such as Armidale and Walcha,” said Carmel Flint, spokesperson for Armidale Action on Coal Seam Gas and a regional co-ordinator with Lock The Gate Alliance.
