Monitoring wellbeing and attitudes to CSG (pre-construction phase)
This project monitored changes in local community wellbeing and attitudes to coal seam gas (CSG) during the pre-construction phase of the Santos Narrabri Gas Project in NSW.
This research fills a gap between the pre-approval baseline assessment survey that was conducted by CSIRO’s GISERA in 2017 and a planned future survey to be conducted during the construction phase, should the project proceed.
Results of this research contribute towards a comprehensive longitudinal study over the next five years around community wellbeing and local attitudes towards CSG in Narrabri.
