Mining strategy
Mining strategy
In September 2008, AgForce outlined a strategy to reduce the conflict between mining and agriculture which required a whole-of-government response.
The first layer of that strategy included better access to government information for landholders about their rights and obligations and assistance in negotiations with resource companies.
To a large degree this has been achieved with mining liaison officer Gerry McKie and legal aid solicitor Glen Martin, as well as two deputy mining registrars working from a new mining office at Roma.
Introducing equity into the interaction between landholders and miners remains a work in progress. AgForce is prominently involved in the Queensland Government’s Land Access Working Group which is developing some new standards about how various parties work together.
