ABC Mid North Coast looks at the future of Gloucester as mining is introduced.
The scenic town of Gloucester is at a crossroads. It's one of the state's most idyllic tree change destinations for retirees. But it's also a region with potential riches underground.
There is already a small mine at Stratford but there is a proposal to build a much bigger open cut coal mine just a few kilometres out of town.
In addition, AGL has approval to build up to 110 coal seam gas wells, with the possibility of many more.
So is this new frontier a boon for the local economy or an environmental eyesore waiting to happen?
The answer depends on who you talk to.
