BACCHUS Marsh farmers have a chance to voice their concerns over brown coal mining on their properties at a parliamentary inquiry on Monday.
Moorabool Environment Group members will speak at the inquiry into Greenfields Mineral Exploration and Project Development in Victoria.
The inquiry, which must present its report by February next year, is considering the economic, social and environmental costs as well as the benefits of greenfields mineral exploration.
It will also look at ways to improve the management of potential conflicts between exploration and other land uses.
Moorabool Environment Group secretary Deb Porter, who is one of the speakers, said she was looking forward to representing the community and its concerns.
