Sydney: Activists drill vigilance message over coal seam gas

COAL seam gas activists have called on inner west residents to be vigilant, saying a St Peters site remains vulnerable to drilling.

Stop CSG Sydney spokeswoman Jacinta Green said Dart Energy’s licence for drilling in Sydney had expired but the company was renegotiating with the state government for renewal.

Ms Green said the licence had expired last October.

A spokesman for Dart Energy said the renewal of the licence PEL 463 that covers part of Sydney was being decided by the department.

“Dart Energy currently has no drilling plans in the Cumberland licence and this includes no plans to drill at St Peters,” he said.

Ms Green said public protests in St Peters late last year had prevented immediate drilling in the area.
