Community Attitudes to Coal Seam Gas and Mining Activities

The research objectives were:

What are the current levels of community information about coal seam gas activities existing and planned for the area?
What are the main sources of community knowledge about coal seam gas activities?
What factors are defining/shaping current attitudes towards coal seam gas activities?
What are community expectations of coal seam gas and mining activities in general in the future?
