A message from Gasfield Free Bairnsdale...
Hi again,
There are some important events coming up as follows:
A) Ban Unconventional Gas Rally!
Help us
call for a ban on unconventional gas mining on the first sitting day of
parliament for 2016. Please spread the word and let your family and
friends in Melbourne know about it.
When: 11.30am Tuesday 9th Feb
Where: Steps of Victorian Parliament, Spring St,
Melbourne
B) Declaration of Forge Creek and Wy Yung
Surveying has been completed with 97% of landholders who have
property where there is an exploration mining licence for
unconventional gas declaring these 2 districts gasfield free:
When: Saturday 13th
February from 12:30pm-2pm
Where: Gippsland Lakes Yacht Club, The Esplanade,
Paynesville
It's a party! There will be a sausage
sizzle and the bar will be open so come and help us celebrate the declaration
of these two districts and our total of 11 districts 'gasfield free': Bengworden, Broadlands, East Bairnsdale, Eagle Point, Forge Creek,
Goon Nure, Meerlieu, Newlands Arm, Nicholson, Perry Bridge and Wy Yung. This will
total 72 communities that have been declared 'Gasfield Free' in Victoria so
far.
If you can help spread the word about the declaration that would be great, so
please forward this email to your family and friends!
C) Decision about the Future of Unconventional Gas
Mining in Victoria
By the end of February, the Victorian Government is expected to make its
decision about the current moratorium. So what
is the most important thing we can all do right now? Contact Premier
Andrews and urge him for a ban. You can write/email or call him or even leave a
comment on his Facebook page. You can write an open letter to the Premier and
send it to the local newspaper or the Weekly Times or The Age. We need to
make our voices heard loud & clear ASAP!
Address: 1 Treasury Pl, Melbourne VIC 3002
Call: (03) 9651 500
Kind regards
