Group Gears up for Mining Fight

AS the mining boom moves closer to Warwick, the Southern Downs Protection Group is gearing up to take action with another meeting tomorrow night.

Group co-founder Leanne Undery said they already had two successful public meetings and a group meeting and would gather again to further discuss the direction they would take.

Mrs Undery said approximately 70 per cent of the Southern Downs area was covered by applications and granted mining exploration permits and the group was concerned about the potential impact projects would have on communities and existing industries, in particular agriculture and tourism.
