CSG has emerged as a major potential new energy resource over the past decade, led primarily by Queensland with other states racing to try and catch up to the argued benefits. Over the past few years community opposition to CSG has become widespread throughout Australia, led especially by growing concerns over the perceived and actual impacts on rural communities and farmers in southern Queensland around the Chinchill-Tara-Dalby region. Speaker: Dr Gavin Mudd (Monash University). 5:30pm (for 6pm start). John Connell Auditorium, Engineers Australia, 21 Bedford St, North Melbourne. Free for EA and SSEE members; non-members $30.
