A resolution to an anti-coal seam gas (CSG) blockade in southern Queensland is now likely, with protesters and Arrow Energy entering negotiations.
The farm blockade was established by local landowners and anti-CSG groups at a farm at Kerry, near Beaudesert, on Thursday and has prevented Arrow workers from conducting exploratory drilling in the days since.
The group is calling for baseline water tests to be conducted before drilling is allowed to commence.
Protest spokeswoman Heidi Ross said Arrow representatives had on Saturday agreed to negotiate with the group.
"Arrow Executive Tony Knight came to the site and agreed to start discussions with the blockade to thrash out an agreement," Ms Ross told AAP.
