Although section 99A of the MHRP Act remains in effect, it is important that park owners are aware of these guidelines.

Currently, Queensland's electricity prices are regulated under the Electricity Act 1994 (Qld) (Electricity Act) and are set by price determinations made by the Queensland Competition Authority (QCA). However, the on-supply of electricity in manufactured home parks is regulated by Section 99A of the Manufactured Homes (Residential Parks) Act 2003 (Qld) (MHRP Act).

As park owners would be aware from previous Alerts (most recently, our Alert of 12 February 2015), the manner in which Section 99A regulates the on-supply of electricity to home owners has been the subject of much conjecture and dispute since its enactment in March 2011. The Pomroy matter (referred to in our Alert of 12 February 2015) is currently before the Appeal Tribunal awaiting determination.

When Mining Or Exploration Comes To Your Station

Pastoralists should identify the water and operational assets that matter to the station before activity begins, then ensure any access or commercial agreement clearly deals with monitoring, disruption, rehabilitation, liability and review. The legal position will depend on the mining or exploration licence (as the case may be), the pastoral lease, government policy, approvals and proposed activity, but early preparation gives a family stronger footing in discussions.

Queensland's proposed mining reforms aim to streamline environmental assessment by removing duplication between mining lease and environmental authority processes, while introducing discretionary Land Court referrals and refined objection rights.
