Home>News>GasFields Commission’s Gas Guide 2.0 released

GasFields Commission Queensland (GFCQ) is proud to present the new and improved Gas Guide 2.0. Working in consultation with key stakeholders including the Department of Resources, Department of Environment and Science, Resources Safety & Health Queensland, Land Court of Queensland and the Office of Groundwater Impact Assessment, GFCQ has successfully delivered the first major update to the Gas Guide since it was first published in May 2019.

The Gas Guide brings together all the information landholders need to know about gas development into one concise, easy to read document – detailing everything from the awarding of exploration permits, Land Access and Make Good Agreements, right through to gas field rehabilitation.

Updates include the addition of hyperlinks to all current and relevant petroleum and gas industry legislation, Queensland State Government forms/notices/applications and framework downloads, and recognised best practice guides, requirements and codes. Particular attention has been paid to the Dispute Resolution and Land Access/Conduct and Compensation/Make Good Agreement chapters – with the aim of clearly defining landholders’ rights and obligations when dealing with resource companies operating on, or near their land.

Packed with helpful resources and designed to give landholders the information they need to negotiate a fair and reasonable outcome should a resource company request to operate on their land – GFCQ’s Gas Guide is the most comprehensive guide to gas development available to landholders in Queensland.
