### sec.102 Main purposes of chapter
The main purposes of this chapter are to—
facilitate the co-existence of the State’s coal and coal seam gas industries; and
ensure that participants in each of the industries co-operate to optimise the development and use of the State’s coal and coal seam gas resources to maximise the benefit for all Queenslanders; and
establish a statutory framework that applies if the participants do not otherwise agree.
The main purposes are achieved by—
removing barriers to the grant of resource authorities for coal and coal seam gas production; and
allowing a right of way for coal production subject to notice and compensation requirements; and
imposing ongoing obligations on participants in each of the industries to exchange relevant information; and
providing for participants in each of the industries to negotiate arrangements as an alternative to particular legislative requirements.
