Alliance has a Say: Mining Inquiry to Hear of Manning’s Concerns



Sunday's rally at Gloucester, part of the Lock the Gate National Day of Protest against coal seam gas mining.


The Manning Alliance, the group opposing coal seam gas drilling in the Manning Valley, has been invited to give evidence at the NSW Legislative Council’s standing committee CSG inquiry in Taree on October 31.

The inquiry is holding seven public hearings, three at Parliament House, Sydney and the remainder at Alstonville, Narrabri, Bowral and Taree. It has received 642 submissions, from government, industry and lobby groups as well as many individuals.

Manning Alliance chairman Peter Epov said his team had worked very hard to put together a concise 28 page submission.

“And we have worked even harder to get a place at the table. Over 300 people actually signed a statement in support of our submission in one day,” Mr Epov said.
