The Department of Mines and Petroleum will move to strengthen WA's rules governing the shale and coal seam gas sectors.
THE State Government says current legislation covering shale and coal seam gas industries is "adequate", despite the controversy surrounding the emerging industry.
Queensland law professor Dr Tina Hunter prepared a review of the current legislation that applies to the industry in WA, which has become the subject of pitched battles on the east coast.
The debate has been fuelled by environmental concerns and by conflict between natural gas companies and farmers over land access.
