Landholder partnerships

Working together for mutual benefit

Senex operates in a diverse rural land, where landholders live and work. We take the responsibility of sharing this landscape seriously, striving to be good neighbours, partners, and community members.

Our approach

Proactively working to be good neighbours

Landholders are long-term partners in our Senex operations. Our commitment includes fair and reasonable practices, tailored engagement with stakeholders, and strict accountability to agreed standards. We actively strive to be good neighbours and responsible community members guided by principles of approachability, reliability, trustworthiness, flexibility, and respect.

In partnership with landholders

Drought proofing the Maranoa & Western Downs

Senex is committed to finding productive and sustainable uses for water produced through the natural gas production process.

Through the natural gas extraction process across Senex’s operations, around 3.2ML of groundwater is produced each day. We redirect as much of this water as we can to beneficial uses such as irrigation or other agricultural purposes. We work with landowners to understand their water quality and quantity needs and plan storage infrastructure for produced water to fit with their operation.

57% of all produced water across Roma North and Atlas is being directed to beneficial use with more on the way

Engaging with stakeholders

Our stakeholder system includes planning, land access and implementation processes run by people who live and work within the community. Each operational area is managed under an active stakeholder engagement and management plan, and we operate on a genuine, meaningful and proactive response model to quickly address any concerns. Our doors are always open - with informal and formal processes accessible to any landholder or community member to enable queries, information requests, complaints or grievances.

Creating and nurturing co-existence

Landholders co-exist with our operations as primary partners in a shared landscape over the long-term. We tailor our approach with each landholder to understand their perspective and how their operation works, to minimise potential impact and make gains for mutual benefit wherever possible, such as co-use tracks and water supply agreements.
