Plain English Summary

Overview

This bill allows greenhouse gas exploration wells in the Great Artesian Basin to be converted into water supply bores for local landholders, rather than being plugged and abandoned. It was introduced after the 2024 ban on greenhouse gas storage in the Great Artesian Basin ended the only exploration permit (EPQ10), held by CTSCo, leaving several wells that need to be decommissioned.

Who it affects

Landholders on properties where the former CTSCo exploration wells are located stand to gain free water bores for stock watering. CTSCo gains a practical alternative to costly plug-and-abandon decommissioning.

Key changes

CTSCo can convert greenhouse gas wells into water supply bores instead of plugging and abandoning them, with landowner consent required
Converted bores are transferred to landholders along with all infrastructure and equipment, and landholders receive a water licence for stock purposes without needing to apply
Conversion works are classified as accepted development under the Planning Act, removing the need for separate development approval
A licensed class 3 water bore driller must carry out and certify all conversion work to meet bore construction standards
If CTSCo starts but does not complete a conversion before the decommissioning deadline, it must still plug and abandon the well

How this affects you

Environment

•Greenhouse gas exploration wells in the Great Artesian Basin will be repurposed as water bores rather than plugged and abandoned, reducing waste from disused infrastructureClause 6, s 465Part 8 permits CTSCo to convert a relevant GHG well into a water supply bore and transfer the bore to the landholder as an alternative to decommissioning.
•CTSCo must still meet its rehabilitation conditions for the former exploration permit area, even after wells are converted or decommissionedClause 6, s 482CTSCo retains a right of entry to comply with rehabilitation conditions 58 to 60 of the ended environmental authority EPPG00646913.
•Converted bores must have watertight delivery systems to protect the Great Artesian Basin from uncontrolled water lossClause 6, s 479(3)The water licence must not allow the landowner to take water unless the bore has a watertight delivery system within the meaning of the GAB Water Plan.

Regional Queensland

•Landholders in the former CTSCo permit area gain free water bores for stock watering, improving their access to Great Artesian Basin waterClause 6, s 474–475Ownership of all infrastructure and equipment forming part of the bore is transferred to the landowner upon giving a notice of transfer.
•Landholders receive a water licence for stock purposes automatically, without needing to lodge a separate applicationClause 6, s 479(2)The Water Act regulator must grant a water licence within 60 business days of receiving the notice of transfer.
•All conversion work must be done by a licensed bore driller to proper construction standards, ensuring the bores are safe and reliable for long-term useClause 6, s 467(1)(c)–(d)A licensed water bore driller must convert the well in accordance with the water bore construction codes and sign a conversion certificate.

As the minister who introduced the Greenhouse Gas Storage Amendment Bill, outlined how it provides a pathway for CTSCo to decommission wells by converting them to water supply bores for landholders, with strong stakeholder support.

“This bill delivers a practical and mutually beneficial outcome. It is a win-win for all concerned.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard

4.23 pmMr BENNETTSupports

Supported the bill's objective of repurposing greenhouse gas wells for agricultural water use within the former EPQ10 area, describing it as a practical and constructive solution.

“This is sensible and responsible action for the long-term benefit of Queensland's agricultural sector.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard

5.03 pmMr DALTONSupports

Supported the bill as providing a better option for decommissioning wells by converting them to water bores for landholders, with strong safeguards including written consent and compliance with standards.

“Instead of sealing wells and leaving no lasting benefit, landholders receive new, high-quality water infrastructure that can support drought resilience, stop watering and improve productivity.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard

5.07 pmMs LINARDSupports

Welcomed the amendments as a continuation of Labor's legacy in banning greenhouse gas storage in the Great Artesian Basin, but urged the government to ensure financial responsibility rests entirely with CTSCo.

“Labor welcomes the amendments proposed in this bill as a continuation of that legacy.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard

5.22 pmMr POWERSupports

Supported the conversion of greenhouse gas wells to water bores as a reasonable path, but expressed disappointment that debate was cut short and that the bill's broader implications for carbon capture and storage could not be fully discussed.

“Converting wells to water bores provides some benefits for landholders that simply capping them off would not provide.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard

7.42 pmMr G KELLYSupports

Supported the bill as enabling greenhouse gas wells to be converted into water bores for landholders, improving water security and agricultural productivity.

“Instead of being tied up in carbon storage schemes, these bores will now help improve water security, lift agricultural productivity and strengthen farm resilience right across these properties.”— 2025-12-10View Hansard
