Anyone who has heard the news about coal seam gas in the Eastern States, or seen the Oscar-nominated US documentary Gasland will know just how damaging the gas fracking industry has been in other parts of the world.

But if you think gas fracking is not happening in WA, think again.

CCWA is hosting a free seminar where you can ask a representative from the Department of Mines and Petroleum what they are doing to regulate this controversial industry. The Greens’ spokesperson for water, who has been actively researching the issue, will also be available to answer your questions.

Guest speakers at the event will include:

Bill Tinapple Department of Mines and Petroleum Director of Petroleum and Environment
Hon Alison Xamon MLC, Greens Spokesperson for Water
Piers Verstegen, Director, CCWA, will chair the seminar.
To be followed by a Q&A session.
