Kyogle is the latest council looking to impose a moratorium on the coal seam gas (CSG) industry.
At a meeting yesterday, councillors voted to pass a motion calling for a temporary ban on seismic testing or exploratory drilling on council owned infrastructure.
That would include the Lions Road, which is a vital link in Metgasco's plans for a gas pipeline linking the region to south-east Queensland.
The Lismore City Council passed a similar motion last week, even though legal advice indicated it was the New South Wales Government that had approval authority.
