UPDATED: GasWatch resource booklet for groups and individuals visiting the Pilliga forest
As Santos prepare for Phase 1 appraisal and exploration of the Narrabri Gas Project we have updated this booklet to help interested members of the public understand what is happening and aid in monitoring of the Pilliga forest.
Since the approval of the Narrabri Gas Project in 2020 there has been renewed interest in spending time in the Pilliga forest. Not only to see and experience its incredible rugged beauty and diverse smorgasbord of flora and fauna, but to witness firsthand the gas mining practices of Santos.
