Linc Energy was partly responsible for one of Queensland s worst environmental disasters during an experimental coal seam gas project on the Western Downs at Hopeland 30km from Chinchilla between 2007 and 2013. Court documents reveal former Linc Energy founder Peter Bond filed for a stay (which means to stop certain requirements), of an Environmental Protection Order made against him. The Environmental Protection Act states an EPO is a legal tool issued by the Department of Environment and Heritage Protection, to a person or company to undertake specific actions within specific time frames to remedy a risk or prevent further harm.
