Given increased concerns about a global food shortage, what impact will CSG activity have an agricultural production – the traditional foundation of our region’s economy?
CSG activity has minimal impact on agriculture. Indeed the economic partnership between the CSG producers and farmers may assist in boosting the resources and infrastructure available to the farming community. Coal seam gas extraction is a very different activity to coal mining. With CSG, the infrastructure required and the resulting surface impacts are comparatively small. In other parts of Australia, CSG operations and farming work in partnership for mutual benefit.
