Wollongong council will finalise its submission to the New South Wales Government's inquiry into coal seam gas (CSG) at tonight's council meeting.
The council wants CSG mining in water catchment areas banned within the city's boundaries.
A draft submission prepared by council staff raises more than 20 questions about the potential environmental impacts of CSG activities and the threat to the region's water supplies.
Greens' councillor Jill Merrin will appear before the Upper House inquiry when it visits Bowral next month.
She says she is also concerned about the planning approval process.
