Description:

The Hunter region of NSW is covered by numerous exploration licences that allow companies to explore for coal seam gas (CSG). There is potential for the area to be opened up for CSG extraction in the future. The Environment Defenders Office EDO will present a workshop to inform the community about the processes for assessing and approving CSG activities and the opportunities for having a say.
 
The EDO is an independent non-profit community legal centre that specialises in public interest environmental law.
 
The workshop will explain how CSG exploration and extraction is regulated, with a focus on the opportunities that exist for the community to have a say and the rights of landholders.
The workshop will be presented by solicitors from the EDO.
 
This workshop should be attended by anyone who owns land that is covered by a coal seam gas title. This workshop is also suitable for anyone who is interested to know more about how the coal seam gas industry is regulated.
 
Light refreshments will be provided.
 
RSVP essential. Please contact the EDO on (02) 9262 6989 or email education@edo.org.au
