Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks
Getting the Science Right: Queensland's Coal Seam Gas Development and the Engagement with Knowledge, Uncertainty and Environmental Risks Martin Espig Master of Arts (Hons) (Sociology & Anthropology) A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at The University of Queensland in 2017 School of Social Science Abstract Along with the current global ‘gas revolution’, Australia’s natural gas industry grew rapidly over the last decade. As part of this growth, unconventional gas reserves in the coal basins underlying the State of Queensland have been developed at a large scale. These coal seam gas (CSG) projects are expected to involve the drilling of up to 20,000 gas wells in southern Queensland alone. On a small — but likely increasing — number of the existing 9,000 wells, CSG companies apply the controversial extraction technique of hydraulic fracturing (‘fracking’). One hotspot of development is the rural Western Downs region where the CSG industry’s rapid expansion and accompanying socio-cultural changes have intensified land use competition between agricultural and extractive industries, while also affecting non-agricultural landholders and regional residents. In this region and elsewhere, CSG extraction has sparked debates over associated risks, uncertainties and possible unknown environmental impacts. Based on ethnographic research in the Western Downs, this thesis addresses the resulting environmental risk controversy by examining the ‘problems of knowing’ associated with CSG developments. My analysis focuses on how a variety of actors come to know CSG and its environmental risks as well as the ways in which uncertainties and unknowns are negotiated. I particularly attend to scientific knowledge claims regarding potential environmental and health impacts. -
Western Downs Development Status Report
Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise Western Downs Development Status Report June 2020 www.tsbe.com.au WESTERN DOWNS DEVELOPMENT STATUS REPORT The Western Downs, located in the agricultural heartland of Southern Queensland, is a region experiencing strong economic growth, investment and consistently high employment. The region is well known for its rich agriculture and great liveability, but its biggest wealth is in its people and communities. Home to a growing population of 34,500 people, the Western Downs is a region known for welcoming industry and innovation as well as extending its country hospitality to all new residents and businesses. The Western Downs Development Status Report is a document produced in partnership with Western Downs Regional Council and is updated annually. It equips readers with knowledge including costs, locations and estimated completion dates for known developments in the Western Downs region across infrastructure and services, property development, building and construction, resources and renewable energy projects. Toowoomba and Surat Basin Enterprise (TSBE) is committed to fostering and facilitating the sustainable growth and development of the region and works with stakeholders across the Western Downs to support the local business community. TSBE supports regional businesses through the delivery of information, business support programs, advocacy and regional promotion, as well as membership services to many local businesses. The cornerstones of the economy are agriculture, intensive agriculture, energy and manufacturing — industries which continue to boast a significant number of projects in the pipeline for the Western Downs area. TSBE and Western Downs Regional Council hope this report will encourage further investment in the region, while also providing businesses with important information to help them explore new opportunities. -
2021 Land Valuations Overview Western Downs

Rural land values have generally increased moderately, except for around Wandoan where there have been significant increases, due to the strength in beef commodity prices as well as a low interest rate environment. Residential land values in the townships of Dalby and Miles have generally remained unchanged, with moderate increases in Chinchilla, and moderate reductions within the towns of Tara and Wandoan. Commercial and industrial lands generally remain unchanged, except for some isolated changes along the Warrego Highway in Dalby.

TAROOM SHOW SOCIETY NEWSLETTER May 2014
TAROOM SHOW SOCIETY NEWSLETTER May 2014 Thank you! The Taroom Show Society would like to sincerely thank everyone who contributed to this year‟s outstanding show- exhibitors, competitors, sponsors, stall holders, families and other visitors. Show president Shane Williams said the 2014 event was a great success, with numerous highlights. “We had the Origin Lumberjack Show, which was an international act and a first for Taroom. The crowd loved it, and the Lumberjacks loved their time in Taroom,” Mr Williams said. “We had the Santos Ladies marquee, the prestigious pet parade, a wine and cheese afternoon, the men‟s chocolate cake competition, plus the traditional Showgirl and Rural Ambassador competitions, just to name a few things.” “We had a huge number of stud cattle compete for what is arguably the largest prize pool in Queensland outside a major city. The Super Bull and Junior Bull Challenges are always a good drawcard. We had over 60 competitors in one show jumping class, making Taroom one of the most popular shows in Queensland. “It was great to see so many people enjoy themselves, and fill the grounds with such a positive vibe. Taroom is such a professionally run show for a small town and it‟s a credit for all those involved,” Mr Williams said. Two volunteers were recognised for their hard work over the years, with life membership being presented to Malcolm and Ann McIntyre. Christie McLennan, 2014 Rural Ambassador Kim Hay, and the 2013 Ian Williams, secretary Tennille Lacey, Miss Show Princess runner-up Queensland Rural Ambassador Jess and president Shane Williams. -

This fact sheet has been prepared to provide a summary of the requirements for residential development under the planning scheme. Residential Zones While these are the main residential zones, it is noted that the planning scheme still allows for a dwelling The planning scheme is a land use plan that identifies house on a rural lot, and also provides opportunities preferred locations for different types of development. for certain types of residential uses within activity Zones have been used in the planning scheme to centres. For example, residential development may be organise compatible land uses such as residential supported above ground floor commercial development zones for housing or industry zones for industrial in the Bundaberg CBD and Bargara town centre. activities.
