Coal or Crops
The Queensland Government is proposing to create a new category of restricted land use called “Strategic Cropping Land”, which is reserved for “cropping” and closed to almost every other type of land development. This would create No-Go zones covering as much as 4% of Queensland, representing an area more than twice the size of Holland and including many areas likely to contain the mineral and energy resources for tomorrow.
This proposal will affect every landowner and every rural industry in some way, almost all negatively, but its most immediate effect will be on landowners and coal explorers.
