Local Greens spokesperson, Lauren Edwards, said the group is committed to thoroughly investigating this proposal and its possible links to the most recent local zoning changes to our Local Environment Plan (LEP) for our Local Government Area.
“The Three Rivers Greens are quite concerned about the speedy development of extractive industries interest in our region following legislative amendments at all levels of government and have a petition, currently in circulation, calling for our LEP to be amended to its former self,” Ms Edwards said.
“Three Rivers Greens have been approached by a number of concerned community groups and will be extending an invitation to local community groups for a discussion and education session about the extraction and use of cobalt worldwide and the impact this application could have on our local community and environment.”
