• 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

It is from this viewpoint that members of DEA are deeply concerned by

This period has been an especially busy one for the Natural Resources Committee in part due to the
committee's undertaking the inquiry into fracking/unconventional gas extraction and also its oversight
role with regard to the state's eight NRM boards.
