Description

Farmer Ed Robinson from Gloucester opposes AGL (CSG) on his land - he talks about damage to the Avon river and the complex geology of the area.

A temporary camp to accommodate anti-coal seam gas protesters at Gloucester in northern New South Wales has been approved by the local council. The campsite will be located on Ed Robinson's farming property on Jacks Road adjacent to AGL's Waukivory Pilot Project where it will frack four wells.

"As far as I can ascertain that bond is to make sure if there's any damage to council infrastructure that the council then has the money to repair that," he said.

Mr Robinson, a member of Groundswell Gloucester and beef cattle producer, says it will be a challenge to raise the money required by council.
