Have Your Say on Energy in Our Region

I am working with a research student who is keen to hear local perspectives on the energy industries across our region.

As part of her research, she is investigating what people actually think about oil and gas developments, as well as renewable energy projects like wind and solar farms. She would like to understand what people support and what concerns they might have. How you, the constituent, weigh up the benefits versus the challenges and whether your views have changed over time.

The survey is not advocating for any particular position and there are no right or wrong answers. The aim is to gather genuine community views and experiences to help inform her research.

The survey is completely anonymous, takes only a couple of minutes to complete!
Please have your say here: Have your say on energy in your region – https://forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=YPKu_smCsEmVUOC3Auaza0K4d6yLCy9PmLByOtgF5IVUNUdWRkcyV0FWOVhFQUw2OE5CQ0FVNUFCSi4u

If you have the time to spare, I’d genuinely appreciate you taking the time to click through and share your thoughts.

Hosted by Coexistence Queensland and the Queensland Government, in partnership with local government, the forum will bring together local and state government, industry, and technical experts to provide accessible, factual information about current exploration activities, planning processes and potential future development.

As interest in the Taroom Trough continues to grow, the forums provide an opportunity to better understand:

the Taroom Trough resource
current exploration and appraisal activities
government policy and regulatory frameworks
potential development pathways
opportunities for regional economies
considerations for landholders and communities
the Taroom Trough Development Plan
community engagement and future planning.
Attendees will also have the opportunity to ask questions during panel discussions and speak directly with representatives from government agencies, industry and community organisations in the exhibition area.

Information exhibition
Free entry
Refreshments and light supper provided
If you have any questions regarding the event please contact the Coexistence Queensland team at [email protected] or call 1300 548 021.
