Council Pushes for 5km Buffer Zone

IF TOOWOOMBA Regional Council gets its way, no companies will be able to explore or mine for gas, coal or minerals within 5km of any of the region's towns.

Council yesterday fired criticism at the State Government's new policy that bans exploration activities only within 2km of towns with a population of 1000 or more.
Councillors want the buffer zone extended to 5km.
