Residents across the Western Downs and Maranoa are invited to attend one of two free public information forums to discuss emerging oil and gas exploration in the Taroom Trough.
Hosted by Coexistence Queensland and the Queensland Government, in partnership with local government, the forum will bring together local and state government, industry, and technical experts to provide accessible, factual information about current exploration activities, planning processes and potential future development.
As interest in the Taroom Trough continues to grow, the forums provide an opportunity to better understand:
- the Taroom Trough resource
- current exploration and appraisal activities
- government policy and regulatory frameworks
- potential development pathways
- opportunities for regional economies
- considerations for landholders and communities
- the Taroom Trough Development Plan
- community engagement and future planning.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions during panel discussions and speak directly with representatives from government agencies, industry and community organisations in the exhibition area.

- Presentations
