September 14, 2018<\/strong><\/p>\n

Landholders and mining companies have a new avenue to resolve disputes with the appointment of Queensland\u2019s first Land Access Ombudsman.<\/p>\n

Natural Resources Minister Dr Anthony Lynham said the LAO office would provide a faster, free alternative to legal action for industry and landholders.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs Jane Pires is currently the Energy and Water Ombudsman Queensland with extensive experience as a dispute resolution specialist,” Dr Lynham said.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe will bring these highly transferrable skills to the role of the Land Access Ombudsman.<\/p>\n

\u201cMs Pires has a proven track record in resolving complex complaints \u2013 helping more than 10,200 Queenslanders work through issues with their electricity or water providers during 2017-18.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are more than 5700 conduct and compensation agreements in place in the petroleum and gas sector alone, with more than $387 million paid in compensation to landholders as at 30 June last year.”<\/p>\n

The Land Access Ombudsman will:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n

        \n
