REGIONAL situations and future perspectives were brought up by Western Downs Regional Council (WDRC) Mayor Ray Brown last week at the Queensland Government's International Gas Symposium.
Held in Brisbane, the two day event attracted 540 delegates from across the world including professionals from America, Canada and the UK.
Industry leaders discussed opportunities and challenges for Australia as it enters a 'golden age' of gas development.
The delegates and guest speakers exchanged ideas on developing the industry in a safe and sustainable manner while also forging new working relationships.
Cr Brown said it was a worthwhile experience and the first to be held of its kind.
"Many subjects particularly related to coal seam gas took place and particularly with a person from Schlumberger about fracking which was very interesting and obviously about gas throughout the world and where we're heading for the next 20 years and how important it will be," he said.
"Australia has one of the largest developments in the world going on right now."
