Leveraging the Lessons from the Development of the Queensland Onshore Gas Industry
This is the final report on the research commissioned by Coexistence Queensland and undertaken by the UQ Gas & Energy Transition Research Centre into the lessons learned from the development of Queensland’s onshore gas industry.
The report draws on more than a decade of research, in-depth interviews, online engagement, to capture what drives social licence and good practice for industries working in regional communities.
The research provides practical insights into how industries can better work with communities as energy development accelerates around either core themes:
- community engagement
- balancing land uses
- environmental management
- economic diversification and local investment
- delivering community benefits
- workforce development
- stakeholder partnerships and collaboration, and
- infrastructure and regional growth.
