HOW WE WORK WITH LANDHOLDERS
OUR OPERATIONS INVOLVE MANY COMMUNITIES, BUSINESSES AND PEOPLE. WE ACKNOWLEDGE THE IMPORTANCE OF DEVELOPING PARTNERSHIPS WITH LANDHOLDERS TO GAIN ACCESS TO NATURAL GAS RESOURCES.
If we anticipate placing infrastructure on your property, we will start working with you well before drilling and construction activities begin. We will negotiate an agreement with you and will discuss:• what we plan to do • where our infrastructure will be built • when we plan to do it• how we will operate on your land • the compensation we will pay.
QUICK FACTS:
• Natural gas operations are conducted under Queensland Government approved leases and environmental authorities.
• The Land Access Code provides mandatory conditions for companies while operating on private properties.
• Staff and contractors must abide by land access, road and safety rules.
The Queensland Government has developed a Land Access Code which includes mandatory conditions we must follow when we operate on your property.
In line with these conditions, we conduct negotiations in good faith and recognise that our business is fundamentally linked to developing a strong working relationship with you.
