Resources and energy projects often operate alongside agriculture in regional and rural communities, making land access and local relationships central to how projects are delivered.
As projects progress, new coexistence issues can arise.
Coexistence Queensland provides leading practice advice and on-the-ground support to help foster coexistence outcomes and strengthen social licence when working with landholders and communities.
We help address issues early and support long-term, sustainable outcomes.
"Without coexistence, we lose agricultural land, and we can ill afford to lose any agriculture land to feed not only Australia and our region, but the world.”
Cr Shane McCarthy
AgForce Queensland General President and Flinders Shire Councillor
