It's time for AgForce members to air their views as Queensland Gas Fields Commission (QGFC) releases its discussion paper on coal seam gas mining and agriculture.
The paper is part of the commission's review of the Regional Planning Interests Act 2014, and AgForce will be preparing a submission.
It is hoped the review will improve the sustainable coexistence of landholders, regional communities, and the onshore gas industry in Queensland.
Members are encouraged to provide their recommendations to AgForce so they can be incorporated into one submission.
