The initial stages of drilling for coal seam gas are about to begin on ‘Grampian Hills’, near Bunnan.
As residents of the area and members of the Save Bunnan committee, we are very concerned that no action has been taken to declare a moratorium on such a potentially hazardous activity.
The information provided by Santos at a public meeting did nothing to allay our fears.
The entire water supply for our area and the whole valley is at risk, apart from the health and well being of all residents.
This insidious exploration must be stopped before the area looks like the barren wastelands of the USA, where aquifers have been irreparably damaged.
