Role / OfficeReferenced in 2 bills
Environmental Protection and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2020
This bill reforms Queensland's framework for rehabilitating land disturbed by mining and resource activities. It creates a statutory Rehabilitation Commissioner to independently advise on best practice rehabilitation and publicly report on how well mine sites are being restored. It also overhauls the residual risk framework so the State can better manage former resource sites after companies hand back their environmental authorities, including establishing a dedicated fund to pay for ongoing management and remediation.
Mineral and Energy Resources and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2024
This bill reforms Queensland's framework for managing the coexistence of resource, renewable energy, and agricultural industries. It introduces a major new system for managing coal seam gas induced land subsidence, expands the roles of key coexistence institutions, streamlines regulatory processes across resources legislation, and modernises the Financial Provisioning Scheme for mining rehabilitation.
