VFF to host mining and CSG forums for Gippsland farmers

The Victorian Farmers Federation will host forums in Sale and Wonthaggi to answer producers’ questions about mining and coal seam gas (CSG).

The forums are designed specifically for farmers, and will cover topics including farmers’ rights during mining exploration and development, the VFF’s mining policy, and our proposed changes to minerals legislation.
