Australian-first legislation designed to protect farming land from detrimental mining impacts has been introduced into Queensland parliament.
Queensland farm lobby group AgForce said that after two years of lobbying, it was pleasing to see legislation to protect strategic cropping land finally presented to State Parliament.
The new laws represented a solid start to protecting some of Queensland‘s best food-producing country from open cut coal mining, however the coal seam gas sector remained a concern.
“We congratulate the Queensland government on being the first state to introduce such laws and AgForce will closely monitor their on-ground success as they are rolled out,” AgForce CEO Robert Walker said.
