WHILE rural lobby groups support the concept of Strategic Cropping Land (SCL) legislation, many believe there is still work to be done to ensure it truly protects prime agricultural land.
That was the conclusion from primary industry groups at the Environment, Agriculture, Resources and Energy Committee's public hearing on the proposed SCL legislation in Queensland Parliament last week.
The State government remains committed to enacting the legislation next year, followed by a two-year review to iron out any discrepancies.
But many primary producer groups repeated their serious concerns over the effectiveness of the bill in its current form, particularly with the current arrangements on the 50-year timeframe for temporary and permanent impacts.
