Regional Planning Interests (Condamine Alluvium) and Other Legislation Amendment Bill 2026
This bill protects the Condamine Alluvium, a large underground water aquifer in southern Queensland's Darling Downs, from potential harm caused by coal seam gas (CSG) extraction. It introduces mandatory water quality conditions for new CSG wells, expands landholder compensation rights for ground subsidence, and requires gas companies to get landholder agreement before drilling directional wells.
Land and Other Legislation Amendment Bill (No. 2) 2023
This bill modernises the management of Queensland's state land, place naming, and resource authority obligations. It streamlines how reserves and trust lands are administered, gives trustees more autonomy, overhauls the place naming process to allow faster removal of offensive names, and requires resource companies to pay local government rates as a condition of their authority.
