More info
This map uses data from state government departments about the coal seam gas well and bore hole locations (for more information on this, please see the disclaimer), as well as personal stories and incidents submitted by members of the movement against coal seam gas.
Users are invited to submit their personal story to the map and join the movement of people who oppose coal seam gas mining. These stories can be about how their lives are impacted by coal seam gas mining, information about a local community group that is campaigning on the issue, or a message about why they support a halt to the industry and greater regulation.
Users can also report incidents on the map, such as well leaks, damage to surrounding vegetation (tree 'kill'), or water contamination by chemicals.
Contact us: For questions or comments, please contact us on submissions@getup.org.au.
