Stop CSG Macarthur is a group of residents from the Macarthur region of NSW. We have no political affiliations and all concerned citizens are welcome to join our group. Our group is primarily concerned with the damaging effects that coal seam gas mining will have on our environment, water resources, agricultural lands and most importantly the future health of our community. We are opposed to the introduction of this process until rigorous, independent, peer reviewed, scientific analysis is completed and appropriate legislation is enacted to ensure the community is protected from the Coal Seam Gas mining operations.
MISSION STATEMENT:
To prohibit coal seam gas mining within all water catchment areas, prime agricultural land, residential and environmentally sensitive areas in order to protect community health from these activities.
OUR OBJECTIVES:
Stop CSG Macarthur is a community group formed with the purpose of campaigning to stop CSG mining until appropriate legislation and community safeguards are in place, specifically we want: An immediate and total ban on CSG mining in all drinking water catchment areas.
An immediate freeze & moratorium on CSG exploration, mining & development
A rigorous, independent, peer reviewed, scientific study into the effects of CSG mining operations
A commission of enquiry or expert panel to review the results of the scientific study, recommend appropriate protocols and legislation to protect the community from the harmful effects of CSG mining
