QGC Pty Limited, developer of the Queensland Curtis LNG Project, has welcomed the appointment of John Cotter as the inaugural chairman of Queensland’s new Gasfields Commission.
The appointment was announced today by the Deputy Premier and Minister for State Development, Infrastructure and Planning, Jeff Seeney.
QGC Managing Director Derek Fisher said QGC looked forward to working constructively with Mr Cotter and the six new commissioners who were yet to be announced.
“We are delighted that Mr Cotter will continue his valuable work to foster co-existence between the gas sector and agricultural communities through the Surat Basin Coal Seam Gas Engagement Group,” Mr Fisher said.
“He has demonstrated an informed, fair and balanced approach to the development of Queensland’s LNG export industry and to sustainable agriculture.”
