Regulatory Analysis And Response To Potential Coal Seam Gas Groundwater Contamination In Queensland Australia, Barrie Hansen Jd (Hons)
Regulatory Analysis And Response To Potential Coal Seam Gas Groundwater Contamination In Queensland Australia, Barrie Hansen Jd (Hons)
Barrie Hansen JD (Hons), LLM
The coal seam gas (coalbed methane) industry in Australia is practically in its infancy, but major development is expected to occur over the next 40 years. Australia, as the most arid continent in the world, has a duty to manage the potential groundwater issues better than has been done in other countries where the coal seam gas industry has been flourishing for many years. This article attempts to provide a brief overview of some of the issues, along with suggestions for a regulatory response, or further study.

Civil society participation can facilitate sound energy, climate, and water governance. This article analyzes the dynamics of transnational decision-making. Part II discusses sound energy strategy in light of a shrinking water-resources base due to climate change. Part III considers how public participation in international decision-making can sustain trust in governments and strengthen the legitimacy of legal decisions. Part IV concludes that process and outcome are both integral to addressing water, climate, and energy challenges.
