NOT WANTED: CSG protest outside Metgasco office in Johnston Street, Casino
IF coal seam gas companies were sensible they would take their business elsewhere, Lismore Mayor Jenny Dowell said yesterday following Saturday's poll which showed the council area's residents overwhelmingly oppose the industry.
The latest count in Saturday's poll, which asked Lismore residents if they support coal seam gas exploration and production, showed an almost 87% "no" vote.
According to the ABC, the figure was based on 83% of the vote having been counted.
As a result, Cr Dowell said she expected the incoming council would reject any applications it received from the industry.
She also said it would be up to the industry to choose whether or not to instigate a legal challenge to those decisions.
