The Department of Planning's Coal and Gas Strategy Scoping Paper demonstrates a total bias in favour of coal development over all other industries. This point was highlighted in the Running Stream Water Users Association's submission to the Department last week.
The submission also questioned the process used to approve exploration licenses and mining leases calling for a full cost/benefit analysis that includes health and environment costs.
Legislative changes were also called for in the submission to protect the long term wellbeing of not only our immediate area but the whole of New South Wales.
