To Natural Resources Committee,
Re; Inquiry into Unconventional Gas and Fracking in SE of SA
We 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

Fracking
Hi The fracking is not needed for many reasons. the solar industre is now able to suply all the power
needed. the fracking WILL leach into the ground water with the dealy chemicals used.

SUBMISSION INTO THE INQUIRY INTO HYDRAULIC FRACTURING BY THE NATURAL
RESOURCES AND MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE AND TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
Both my husband Ross and I are members of the Limestone Coast Protection Alliance (LCPA)
because, as South Easterners, we have become increasingly concerned by the implications of
possible fracture stimulation (i.e. fracking) being eventually allowed here in this region.
