With recent controversy in the news around farmers, the mining industry and land access rights, and the announcement of new Queensland government regulations, it is important to clarify these regulations around Coal Seam Gas mining and exploration in Queensland.
The significant growth in CSG exploration and development has resulted in considerable concerns being expressed in the rural communities of the Surat Basin and across the state about the potential for these activities to impact on agricultural businesses and landholders.
Because the State’s land is subject to a range of competing uses, including agriculture, mining (such as coal seam gas activities) and urban development, protecting landholders’ rights when activities are being undertaken on their land is a key priority of the State Government.
