The coal seam gas debate will move into Gloucester Shire Council’s chambers this morning as councillors consider a notice of motion to support a moratorium on coal seam gas.
The motion, put forward by Cr John Rosenbaum calls on council to support the moratorium on coal seam gas “until such time as the Peer Review science that looks at the whole impact of the industry has been done”.
The motion will be put on the table as the blockade on the corner of Jacks Road and Maslens Lane continues, launched by members of the Barrington Gloucester Stroud Preservation Alliance last Monday in a bid to stop AGL moving onto a nearby property to begin exploratory drilling.
Following negotiations between the Alliance and AGL last week AGL announced on Thursday it had deferred its proposed exploration drilling program to allow for further community consultation.
