Station overview—Miles Airport
Monitoring at Miles Airport began in July 2015 to assess air quality in close proximity to an area of intensive coal seam gas (CSG) production run by Origin Energy. This monitoring station was originally managed by 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. Up until February 2018, the method and data validation was overseen by CSIRO before the operation of the monitoring network was resumed by the gas industry. As of July 2023, the gas industry decommissioned the monitoring network.
