The RSWUA has organised a public meeting with representatives from Centennial Coal at 4pm this coming Friday (Aug. 6) in the Running Stream Hall. And following the meeting, the Association is going to turn up the heat with a sausage sizzle so that we can thrash out some of the issues confronting us.
Foremost among these is the need for a thorough hydrological study before any exploratory drilling takes place. Just as the mining companies want to know the extent of the coal resource in our area, we want to know the extent of our water resource.
Given that water systems are often damaged and even destroyed through exploratory drilling, the Association believes that a comprehensive study of the water resource must be the first step in the process of exploring for coal.
So come along and enjoy a sausage sandwich and make sure your concerns are heard.

Pat & I regret we won't be able to be there as we will be in Queensland.
Hope the meeting will be productive - keen to hear news on the blog.
I can confirm that because they are at our place in Toowoomba
