IndustryReferenced in 3 bills
Mineral and Energy Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms how Queensland manages the interaction between its resources industry and agricultural landholders. It creates a new framework to protect farmers from coal seam gas subsidence, expands dispute resolution services, modernises the mining rehabilitation insurance scheme, and streamlines regulatory processes across multiple resources laws.
Royalty Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill changes how Queensland calculates petroleum royalties and modernises royalty administration for both petroleum and minerals. From 1 October 2020, petroleum royalty is based on production volume rather than the previous complex 'wellhead value' method, providing greater certainty for the coal seam gas and LNG industry.
Land, Explosives and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2018
This bill makes wide-ranging changes across the Natural Resources, Mines and Energy portfolio. It strengthens explosives safety and security including automatic licence cancellation for domestic violence perpetrators, modernises compliance powers for State land, facilitates electronic property conveyancing, protects Cape York heritage land from mining, and supports Indigenous land ownership.
