State Agreements in Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service

Continuing the development on TimeBase' unique Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service, QLD and WA State Agreements have now been added to the service.

What are State Agreements?

State Agreements are contracts between the Government of the State and proponents of major resources projects which are ratified by an Act of the State Parliament.  They specify the rights, obligations, terms and conditions for development of the project and establish a framework for ongoing relations and cooperation between the State and the project proponent.

For more than fifty years, State Agreements have been used by successive State governments to foster major developments, including mineral, petroleum, wood processing and related downstream processing projects, together with associated infrastructure investments.  Such projects require long term certainty, extensive or complex land tenure and are often located in relatively remote areas of the State requiring significant infrastructure development.

How have they been incorporated into Energy and Resources Point-in-Time?

The QLD and WA State Agreements join our extensive range of other materials accessible from the homepage of the Energy and Resources Point-in-Time Service including:

• Date sensitive secondary materials like bills, explanatory memoranda and second reading speeches;
• Our unique Daily Alert Service; and
• Full text date sensitive cases linked at section level
