THE Manning Alliance, the peak body opposing coal seam gas drilling in the Manning, has called on all residents of the valley to support the fight to protect the region from CSG mining.
Next Monday has been designated 'Blue Day', with a peaceful and organised rally to be held at Club Taree at the same time as the NSW Legislative Council's Standing Committee No. 5 on coal seam gas mining begins its Taree public hearing.
Club Taree board of directors has given its permission for the rally to take place at 12.30pm on the top floor of the club's new car park. The rally is expected to last for an hour.
As well, all residents across the Manning are being asked to support the rally by wearing blue on Monday, and by attaching blue ribbons to their properties, gates, fences, homes, businesses and vehicles.
The hearing inside Club Taree is open to the public and Manning Alliance encourages anyone with an interest in the future of the valley to attend for all or part of the proceedings.
