Coal seam gas mining lease near the brissy river?

Heard on the radio earlier about coal seam gas mining permits for the karana downs, pullenvale, moggill areas where they could mine within 200m of homes.

Anyone know anything about this???

Apparently according to 4bc the area is under a mining lease.

just media hype over CSG again, its classed as an urban area so no mining within 2km of that, no government will allow for another Newcastle to happen... Secondly the lease has been there since 1998. Companies take out thousands of leases each year, but only a small percentage actually yield anything after testing. Finally, if they do build a well on the outskirts, the property owner will be heavily compensated. There are some property owners out west receiving upwards of 250k per year. Most of the ones complaining are the ones with no wells on their land, hence no slice of the cake.
