Anti-coal seam gas protesters greet the NSW State Government inquiry into the industry in Kyogle earlier this year. The council has slapped a moratorium on coal seam gas exploration on council-owned land. Scott Harlum
THE Kyogle Council has joined a growing chorus of local governments to impose a moratorium on coal seam gas operations on land they control.
The council voted unanimously on Monday to impose a moratorium "on any seismic testing, exploration drilling or other road reserve disturbance by the CSG industry on council-owned infrastructure or infrastructure under Kyogle Council control".
But importantly, the council also specifically ruled out any "disturbance" by coal seam gas operators of the Lions Rd, north of Kyogle.
