Method and limits

What's covered

The current instrument of every live (granted, or granted but not yet effective) coal and minerals environmental authority on the Queensland Environmental Protection Act public register; every approved coal and minerals PRC plan and its published PRCP schedules; the information request and extension notices on PRC plan applications; and the applicants' published responses. Petroleum and gas authorities are not covered.

How documents are read

• Documents are fetched from the register's own storage. Every record page is checked against the reference it should belong to, because register page ids are reassigned over time.
• Conditions are split on their numbering (A1, J7, A1:, (A4-1), PESCB 5, Condition 41). Where numbering can't be followed, the instrument is shown page by page.
• Authorities adopting standard conditions by reference are linked to the document and version they name.
• Rehabilitation areas, information request items and applicants' reconciliation tables are read from the tables in the PDFs.
• Scanned documents are recovered by OCR, which can misread characters; those are labelled.
• Topics, matters and land use categories are keyword tags. The original wording is always shown.

Limits

This is a snapshot, not a live feed. The PRC planning part is not published on the register, so only schedules are read. Replies given only as a revised plan or a scanned letter have no item-by-item text. Assessment durations use a plan's latest effective date. Documents can be misread: always check the linked register document.
