Council has refused an application from Metgasco to perform siesmic rock testing in Rock Valley, while also supporting a moratorium on any coal seam gas activies on council owned or administered land.
However, the move won’t necessarily stop the gas giant, as council has no legislative capacity to prevent exploration works.
It means Metgasco could go to court to have the decision overturned.
Council is seeking a second legal opinion on it’s rights.
Audio please
Council is the voice of the people and the people say NO to Coal Seam Gas mining in our precious local council area and some of us don’t wont it to happen anywhere!!
When will Lismore council go under investigation and public administration? Council snub NSW Government consent.
I reacon no more NSW tax payers money to subsidise Lismore. Don’t give them nothing. Let it rot, just like nimbin.
Cheers from Casino.
