The Interim Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Coal Mining ceased operating in November 2012 when the statutory Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development was established.
The Interim Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Coal Mining website is no longer being updated and maintained but remains here as an archive for your information.
The Interim Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Coal Mining was established in January 2012 to ensure that future decisions about the potential water-related impacts of coal seam gas and large coal mining activities were informed by substantially improved science and independent expert advice. The Interim Committee was put in place pending formal establishment of the Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development under legislation. All advice on development proposals provided by the Interim and statutory Committee is available on the website of the statutory Independent Expert Scientific Committee on Coal Seam Gas and Large Coal Mining Development.
