To those at Narrabri Gas Planning and to ALL of our politicians ! , Please DO NOT go ahead with coal seam gas exploration in the Pillaga. It is a very real threat to health of humans, flora and fauna, a threat to the Great Artisian Basin . It has been proven to be EXTREMELY detrimental in many ways : health hazards, noise pollution, water pollution, air pollution, triggering of small earthquakes , harmful to eco systems and the environment. For the sake of future generations and for the love of our great country and people...DO NOT DO THIS !!! Elizabeth Coby.

Dear Sri/Madam,

I wish to strongly voice my disapproval of the proposed CSG project - Santos' Narrabri Gas Project. The potential damage to the Great Artesian Basin and the Murray-Darling Basin poses an overwhelming risk to the long-term prosperity of the Australian people.
Santos' record in the area in regard to their other CSG projects is disproportionateley negative with measureable damage to a freshwater aquifer and 20 reported spills and leaks of toxic CSG water.
I ask you to support the Australian community campaigning against this project rather the interests of Santos.

Kind regards,

Monty Ryan

The further deterioration and destruction of native land is something I strongly object.

As a young Australian, this issue is very important to me. In the midst of increasingly alarming symptoms of unabated climate change and the threats that it poses to food security, and after several decades of governmental inaction on the issue, the very last thing our society and my generation needs is further fossil fuel extraction, and especially not CSG mining in the Great Artesian Basin and threatening our food security even further. There are too many unknowns and risks, which have led some states and some entire countries to impose moratoriums on this sort of mining activity (CSG).

It would be incredibly short-sighted and potentially very damaging for the government to allow such a development to occur - and so I make this submission to ask you not to let this development go forward.

I believe the risk of damage to the arterial basin far outweighs any benefits and the basin should be protected.

A big NO to interfer with our future '

Please please preserve this beautiful part of Australia! Future generations will appreciate that this area is left clean. Short term financial gains do not look to the future. We have no right to interfere with this precious ground

Our survival is paramount and more important than your greed and hast to destroy this precious Land! We are merely custodians and must protect this Land and its flora and fauna at all costs!..

Seriously, it's absurd we're still doing this and that a submission is required to ATTEMPT to stop it!
The facts are known, our technology is superseding the need, so make the change!
EVERYONE counts, ANYONE can stop this, so make it happen!

The Narrabri Gas Project risks precious water sources, including the Great Australian Basin, which is Australia's largest groundwater aquifer. In addition, it will affect the farming population of the area (who are also opposed to this project) and without our farmers, our food source is under threat. The Narrabri Gas Project has a long history of spills and leaks of toxic CSG water suggesting it will more than likely contaminate local water supplies affecting the health and wellbeing of the local community. Of added concern is the wildlife that will no doubt have their habitats threatened by this project. The Pilliga is one of 15 nationally listed `biodiversity hotspots' and is vital to the survival of threatened species, which includes endangered species. Furthermore coal seam gas fuels dangerous climate change and can cause several health conditions, which the local community would be most susceptible to.
