The Gas Security Amendment Bill 2011 introduced yesterday by the Minister for Employment, Skills and Mining, Stirling Hinchliffe, will affect petroleum authority applicants under the Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Act 2004.

The Bill introduces changes to the application requirements for petroleum authorities, and will see the implementation of a Prospective Gas Production Land Reserve policy. It follows on from last year's consultation paper and proposes to amend several of Queensland's resources Acts, including the Mineral Resources Act 1989, National Gas (Queensland) Act 2008, PG Act and Petroleum and Gas (Production and Safety) Regulation 2004.

 In this article, Partner Martin Klapper and Solicitor Andre Dauwalder address two important matters that arise from the Bill.
