Landholders
We work with farming families in a win-win for essential energy supply and their agricultural operations.
For more than 25 years, Arrow has worked in partnership with farmers, neighbours and communities in the Surat Basin. We’ve built long-standing relationships grounded in trust, respect, and mutual benefit.
Our Surat Gas Project is located in some of Queensland’s most productive farming regions. In collaboration with landholders, we are delivering essential energy while creating shared value and carefully protecting the environment.
Today, more than 400 farming families and landholders in the Surat Basin work with Arrow under around 850 active agreements. These partnerships can help farmers with business growth, increased certainty during farming cycles, and generational succession.
Key elements of our approach include:
- Fit-for-purpose plans that put landholders in control of how we work on their land
- Industry-leading engineering to minimise our footprint on farming land
- Robust monitoring of groundwater levels and quality
- Comprehensive monitoring of ground movement to monitor for any changes
- Sustainable water management with produced water treated and returned to Western Downs farmers in exchange for their Condamine Alluvium allocations
- Careful compliance with regulatory obligations to safeguard land and groundwater.
Together, we’re demonstrating that responsible development and thriving agriculture can go hand in hand.
