Aims of the strategy will be to:
·       guide sustainable development of the coal mining and coal seam gas industry

·       strengthen communication between Government, industry and the community on coal mining and gas production matters.
A scoping paper     has been prepared to:
·       provide a brief overview of the industry and its potential growth over the next 25 years,
·       identify the key environmental, economic, social, and health issues likely associated with growth in the coal mining and coal seam gas industry
·       outline initiatives already being taken by the Government to address these issues
·       promote community and stakeholder discussion to provide input to the development of the strategy.
A terms of reference paper   has been developed for stakeholders, community, industry and the Government to lead the development of the Coal and Gas Strategy.
A reference group has been established to assist in developing the strategy. It comprises:
·                      Mining-related councils
·                      Total Environment Centre
·                      NSW Minerals Council
·                      Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association
