A coal seam gas company has attacked the Sydney Catchment Authority for hindering its access to an exploration site south of Sydney, saying it is politically motivated.
Apex Energy has applied for approval to drill an exploration bore near Darkes Forrest, in the Illawarra escarpment between Wollongong and Sydney.
The site is on protected catchment land and the authority has indicated it will not grant access because the drilling would require extensive clearing of regenerated bushland.
