Listen "The Santos Narrabri Coal Seam Gas Project "
Episode Synopsis
Jan O'Leary was a guest on Rights, Rorts and Rants on 13 November. Jan is an activist, founder of Stop Coal Seam Gas Blue Mountains and BMUC member.
"Out in the Pilliga forest, near Narrabri, in North West NSW, gas giant Santos want to drill 850 coal seam gas wells. It's the only CSG production project proposed in NSW, and farmers, Traditional Owners and environmentalists have been campaigning to protect the Pilliga and stop it becoming an industrial gasfield for years." CSG Free North West's website https://www.csgfreenorthwest.org.au
Jan wrote a submission to the Independent Planning Commission of NSW hearing assessing the project's approval on behalf of the BMUC (Blue Mountains Unions and Community) with a focus on worker safety. The Commission received 10,000 submissions mostly against the project and 400 experts spoke at public hearings. However, the project was approved on 30 September 2020 with 134 conditions or modifications imposed on Santos in relation to their proposal. The fight is not over and CSG Free North West's website have actions you can take.
