IT looks as if the appointment of representatives for the Hunter Gas Community Consultative Committee will be sooner rather than later. A Bulga resident has received a letter notifying him that he has not been successful in his application for the CCC. While a spokesperson for the Minister For Resources and Energy said this is a preliminary stage of the process, she did say it shows the announcement of the committee may not be far away. The spokesperson confirmed the names of the representatives would be announced to the public as soon as the positions have been appointed.
