A monitoring network has been established within the Western Downs region to assess air quality in an area of intensive coal seam gas (CSG) production. Air monitoring stations are located at Hopeland, Miles Airport, Condamine, Burncluith and Tara region. These monitoring stations are situated on properties near CSG infrastructure such as gas processing facilities and active gas wells. Air monitoring stations that were located at Condamine and Burncluith ceased operation in February 2018. Up until February 2018, this monitoring network was managed by the CSIRO’s Gas Industry Social and Environmental Research Alliance (GISERA) as part of the Surat Basin Air Quality study. Environmental consultants operated the monitoring network on behalf of CSIRO/GISERA during the study period. Method and data validation for the network was overseen by CSIRO. The monitoring network is now operated by the gas industry.
