A TINY NSW township has declared war on energy giant AGL after the company bought a vineyard that could become a base for coal seam gas exploration.
Property owners in Broke in the Hunter Valley were upset yesterday after reports the property, once owned by Macquarie Bank co-founder and anti-coal seam gas campaigner David Clarke, had been sold to the very company he was fighting before his death.
The sale paves the way for AGL to explore for coal seam gas in the area.
A spokeswoman said the company understood community concerns and had consultation processes in place to ensure residents were adequately informed.
"We have successfully demonstrated coal seam gas exploration can coexist with other land uses in the area and that it can be done in a safe and sustainable manner," she said.
