Sydney solicitor Mary Lou Potts and Soil Futures soil scientist Robert Banks will be presenting a case against Leichardt Resources in regards to the renewal of Coal Seam Gas exploration licences in the PEL 470 area.
The landholders will be putting a case forward to the government as to why Leichardt Resources can renew exploration licences after previously presenting false information to the government.
Chair of the Bellata/Gurley CSG Action Group Penny Blatchford believes the information put forward contradicts the Strategic Land Use Policy recently produced by the O’Farell Government.
“The information put forward by Leichardt Resources claims the PEL 470 region was not of agricultural value yet the Strategic Land Use Policy clearly states it is strategic agricultural land,” Mrs Blatchford said.
She believed the information put forward by Leichardt resources was based on “desktop studies” and was not accurately sound.
“As a group we hope that the government will hear our pleas and reconsider renewing Leichardt Resources exploration licences in our area,” she said.
