To Natural Resources Committee,
Re: Inquiry into Unconventional Gas and Fracking in SE of SA
I understand that the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance Inc is writing a submission for this inquiry and
that they do not support unconventional gas and fracking in the SE of SA for the following reasons:
•potential for water contamination caused by spills, leaks, chemicals and accidents
•potential for well integrity failure due to finite lifespan of cement and steel
•potential for air pollution detrimental to health of natural environment, humans and animals
•potential for industrialisation of landscape and loss of "clean and green" image
•unsustainable competition with existing industries such as agriculture, horticulture, viticulture and
tourism which will have a detrimental impact on local economy
•unsustainable competition for finite water resources
•potential for release
