Protester John makes his point at Bunjurgen Estate Vineyard on Sunday
MINING will have no place in the Scenic Rim if mayor John Brent has his way.
Cr Brent last week declared that he would attempt to ensure the region remains free from coal mine and coal seam gas wells.
He made the statement against the industry prior to a national day of action against CSG yesterday.
The action included protesters hanging from some of the highest mountains of the Scenic Rim.
According to Cr Brent mining in the Scenic Rim would put at risk the region's agricultural production and a number of protected environments.
