Gas Information Sessions: Eastern Star Gas

The controversial Eastern Star Gas proposal will come under the spotlight in Maitland next month as part of a widespread consultation process on the Coolah to Newcastle Gas Pipeline project.

Eastern Star Gas (ESG) will host a series of community information sessions in Morpeth, Beresfield, Merriwa, Elderslie and Denman to give residents the opportunity to view information about the project.

ESG is seeking planning approval from both state and federal governments for the pipeline project, which will deliver gas from the Narrabri Gas Project to a proposed facility at Kooragang Island.

“ESG recognises the community has a keen interest in the project and believes the community information sessions will be a valuable opportunity for a two-way sharing of information to take place,” ESG’s executive general manager stakeholder relations, Peter Fox, said.

The community information sessions will be held at St James Anglican Church Hall, Morpeth, on Monday, September 5, between 3pm and 7pm, and Francis Greenway High School on Tuesday, September 6, between 3pm and 7pm.

The format of the sessions will be informal.
