GISERA has released new research into community wellbeing and perceptions of coal seam gas (CSG) development in the Narrabri region, NSW. The report involved surveying 400 Narrabri Shire residents during March and April this year to establish baseline measures of community wellbeing and expected future wellbeing over the next three years. It also investigated community resilience and […]

This report, Uncertainty analysis of CSG-induced GAB flux and water balance changes in the Narrabri Gas Project area, quantifies potential groundwater flux and water balance changes in the Great Artesian Basin (GAB) aquifer (Pilliga Sandstone) under CSG development scenarios in the Gunnedah Basin, NSW. It provides an independent probabilistic estimation of potential regional scale coal […]

An animation has been created to present a summary of research about the economic effects of the CSG industry during the operations phase. The findings draw on two sets of data. The first is economic forecasting of indirect employment that flow on to other sectors from the CSG industry. The second is a set of […]
