The Mayor of the Scenic Rim says coal and coal seam gas (CSG) mining is not consistent with the region.
A rally was held in the area yesterday as part of a nationwide protest against the CSG industry.
Much of the region is covered by exploration permits, including areas around Beaudesert, Boonah and Rathdowney.
Mayor John Brent says he is taking a long-term view in vowing to fight mining in the region.
Councillor Brent says the Scenic Rim is a significant agricultural and environmental area.
