#PilligaPipeline is a high pressure gas pipeline set to carve a 50m wide destructive scar running 50km+ east-west thru #Pilliga. Its formal name is the #Narrabri Lateral and it will link the #NarrabriGas Project to the Hunter Gas Pipeline. Subs are open➡️ www.planningportal.nsw.gov.au/major-projec...

Narrabri Underground is missing from the EIS
This must be challenged. The underground operates in the same coal seam as the #NarrabriGas Project & it is absolutely critical that it is taken into account as a cumulative impact

'Decade overdue' salt conversion plan could rewrite coal seam gas future
Five million tonnes of salt could be dumped in ponds over the life of the coal seam gas industry. Now, there could finally be a better solution.

Santos hit by further delay on Narrabri gas ruling
A traditional owner appeal over the project’s approval was due to start on Tuesday but is now expected in March 2026 after the judge recused herself.
