The Coal Infrastructure Taskforce leads whole-of-government planning for coal infrastructure to ensure coal-related infrastructure meets the demands of Queensland’s growing coal industry. The taskforce works with infrastructure providers, mining companies, and other government agencies to identify challenges to the development of key infrastructure projects.

The taskforce’s responsibilities include:

• overseeing implementation of the Coal Infrastructure Program of Actions
• developing a long-term (20 year) strategic infrastructure plan to identify coal infrastructure and related social infrastructure needed to support increased coal exploration, mining and export
• working with coal seam gas (CSG) producers, local governments and other state government agencies to identify beneficial re-use options for coal seam gas water.
