The Queensland Law Reform Commission (QLRC) has now released consultation papers as part of a two-year review of mining lease objection processes and now invites Queenslanders to submit their views and feedback.
The Consultation Paper ‘Reimagining decision-making processes for Queensland mining’ discusses and invites feedback on 6 reform proposals. It asks 26 questions, including on key aspects of how the reforms could be implemented.
Meanwhile, ‘Valuing the perspectives of Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples’ discusses the same proposals and asks the same questions as ‘Reimagining decision-making processes for Queensland Mining’, with a particular focus on issues and implications for Aboriginal peoples and Torres Strait Islander peoples and their communities.
The Commission seeks feedback on the 6 proposals, and 26 questions for reform, by 13 September 2024. Queenslanders are encouraged to share their views on the consultation proposals and questions and any other issues they believe are important for our review.
