A Kingaroy residents' group in southern Queensland want a scrapped underground coal gasification (UCG) plant near the town removed so farmers can start using the land.
In January last year, the Queensland Government shut down operations at the Cougar Energy site after tests on neighbouring bores found minute traces of banned chemicals.
Kingaroy Concerned Citizens Group spokesman Dr Rockley Boothroyd says the plant is an eyesore.
"It's a bit of nuisance really for people who like to graze animals or cultivate the ground for crops because the pipes stop this," he said.
