UFNSW's Kerry Laws said there had been little awareness that Dubbo could be part of the uranium cycle.
Subsidiary Australian Zirconia Ltd was one of six companies the NSW government has invited to apply for a uranium exploration licence in NSW.
However, Alkane Resources managing director Ian Chalmers has previously denied uranium will be mined at the Dubbo Zircoia Project.
"We're not interested in uranium and we can categorically, 100 per cent say we won't be mining it there," he said.
He said while the Toongi ore body contained rare earth elements and low levels of uranium, the development application did not include the production of uranium.
Ms Laws said Alkane Resources had done a good job at keeping their intentions under wraps.
"Alkane are saying we're not going to use it, 'we're not going to mine uranium', but they'll still be pulling up uranium and they'll be stockpiling it," she said.
"Even that poses a really huge risk to the Toongi area but eventually the greater area will be affected."
Ms Laws said it was the people making the decisions about uranium mining that were going to profit in the short term, but in the long term it was not a good energy option.
Wednesday marks four years since the Fukushima nuclear disaster and Ms Laws said she also wanted to remember those who had been affected by the disaster, while raising awareness of Australia's involvement.
"We want to pay our respects to the 220,000 people who are displaced across the country. It was Australian uranium that fuelled those disasters," Ms Laws said.
"The people that we've talked to are actually shocked that four years have passed since Fukushima and the fact that it is still contaminated."
Dubbo Greens candidate Matt Parmeter agreed that the future of energy did not lie in nuclear.
"Nuclear energy is not the way forward, it's an industry that's timing has passed. We can get jobs out of renewables."
Ms Laws said the uranium free groups were not simply a negative group, they were looking for an energy source that had an ongoing future.
