STOP AGL Energy and Sydney Gas MINING Wollombi Valley

Wollombi Valley Against Gas Extraction (WAGE) is not ideologically based, is not aligned with any political party and takes no position as to the pros and cons of the use of methane gas as a fuel.
WAGE is independent and solely concerned with the welfare of the Wollombi Valley and its community. We appreciate that change is a constant factor in our lives but feel it is incumbent on us all to prevent change for the worse and to choose change for the good.
We will gather all the information here about the joint venture between poorly performing Sydney Gas (SGL) and AGL Energy (AGK) to explore for Coal Seam Methane Gas here in Wollombi Valley, as well as in print through letterbox drops, in the Wollombi General Store and Laguna Wine Bar and through our various email lists.
We are also covering news from the newsfeeds on our News page and have the online edition of our newsletter - The Fault Line.

Sydney Gas are looking for further
access agreements in the Wollombi area.
They have identified Narone Creek, Milsons Arm and the Wollombi Recreation Ground as potential targets in their "Core Hole Update" but they are actively looking elsewhere as well.
Do not allow anyone from Sydney Gas,
AGL Energy or AJ Lucas onto your land.
Do not accept their phone calls!
Do not sign anything they put in front of you!
Respect your community and your neighbours.
Having involvement in the ongoing blockade of BHP at Caroona, I would urge you all in the Wollombi community to stand together and let these organisations hear your voice. Our community has only strengthened from this and we will not be deterred by the company or the government. You know they are out of ideas when they start labelling you as "immature" and "ratbags". This state government's planning laws are seriously flawed, all in the name of "significance to the state". We too are soon to face the gas onslaught with Santos as well as battling with BHP and MacDonald and Sartor. Good luck to you all.
We thank the following organisations for their financial support:
- Wollombi Valley Progress Association
- Wollombi Valley Chamber of Commerce
