Cougar Energy says it is on track to ignite its underground coal gasification operation at Kingaroy in southern Queensland by February 2010.
The company says siteworks are now completed, major equipment is installed and power infrastructure is well advanced.
It says a production dam built on site will be able to withstand a one-in-50-year storm event without overflowing.
But South Burnett Mayor David Carter says the consultative committee he chairs has concerns about the moisture content of the red soil used in the dam.
"We've got a couple of questions still about the dam," he said.
"How that is going to be monitored and the time it will take if there is a leak and how long it will be detected.
"So there's issues we've addressed already.
"The committee is working very well to get a good relationship between the community and Cougar."
