Moderate voices in the CSG debate - Queensland Western Downs

Western Downs Regional Council Mayor - Ray Brown described himself as an environmentalist, but saw a possibility of co-existence between agriculture and Coal Seam Gas.

The Mayor felt that enforcement of regulation was key, as was an appropriate recognition that some land is simply not suitable for extractive industries.

He displayed a sensitivity to the range of views among citizens, and some of the potential adverse impacts on the environment - particularly around salt and water.
