PREMIER Anna Bligh has promised to take on the Federal Government over any increase to red tape from its new oversight of the coal seam gas industry.
The Gillard Government has agreed to make impacts on underground water a trigger for federal intervention in the approval of coal seam gas projects.
It adds to the existing triggers of heritage and threatened species.
While the State Government said it was comfortable that its processes and approvals were of the higher scientific standard, Ms Bligh said she would not accept more bureaucracy.
