Sub btz
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
