The Government today moved to ensure that all future decisions about coal seam gas projects and large coal mining developments are based on the most rigorous scientific evidence available.
Coal seam gas and coal can bring huge opportunities – but to do so must maintain community confidence, especially in regard to impact on water.
This can only be achieved by ensuring all environmental approvals and licensing decisions are made on the basis of transparent, objective scientific evidence.
The new science-based framework being introduced by the Government will provide certainty for regional communities around coal seam gas and large coal mining developments, jobs and investment, as well as protection of water resources.

Editor's Note: I have a strange feeling that this is just another lot of words from the Government.... SQUAWK!! SQUAWK!!
