Enforcement and compliance

The laws managing the growth of Queensland's coal seam gas to liquefied natural gas (CSG-LNG) industry have been developed after more than 2 years of intensive examination to create the right policy settings for an expanding industry.

At the heart of the Queensland Government's management is a commitment to sustainable development.

We've been working with local residents, landholders, peak farming groups and the resources sector to get the ground rules right.

We have strong laws and regulations in place that:

  • deliver safe and high standards of environmental responsibility
  • protect local water supplies and farming land
  • manage the impact of resource activities on areas of regional interest
  • provide fair conditions for landholders
  • establish strict compliance regimes.

CSG-LNG compliance and enforcement is managed through local, Queensland and Australian government agencies.

Reporting CSG concerns

For emergencies, dial 000 and the emergency contact numbers displayed at the incident location.

Other CSG-related health and safety concerns should be reported to the Petroleum and Gas Inspectorate.

Environmental concerns, including noise, light and odour, should be reported to the Pollution Hotline.

Land access concerns, including entry notices, directional drilling and negotiating a conduct and compensation agreement, can be directed to the Mining Community Infoline.
