Description
Description | The Queensland Government is fast-tracking the assessment, development, and delivery of the Taroom Trough, Australia's first new prospective oil field in fifty years. A new Development Plan has been authorized to streamline roads and trunk infrastructure, providing clarity for investment and opportunities for regional communities through a whole-of-basin framework. The plan includes whole-of-government planning and stakeholder engagement to expedite development, maximize investment, and create jobs. Next steps involve further exploration, infrastructure planning, tenure arrangements, approvals strategy, and baseline studies. The state government is also calling for the Federal Government to recognize the Taroom Trough as a project of national interest to streamline approvals and avoid unnecessary delays. |
