HE HAS received an apology, but Nev Stiller will have to wait at least another week for an offer of compensation from Queensland Gas Company (QGC).
The Guluguba landholder met with QGC senior vice president, Brett Smith, and social performance manager, Tony Heidrich, at the landholder's home on Monday.
Mr Stiller said the men hoped to provide an initial offer of compensation by the end of next week.
At a meeting between Mr Stiller and Mr Heidrich on Thursday, Mr Stiller was asked to provide details of what he felt was adequate compensation.
However, Mr Stiller turned down the request and called on QGC to make him an offer.
"They are the ones who have done the wrong thing, so they should be first to make a move to fix it," he said.
"I always wanted them to move away from my home. But on Monday they said moving the campsite was not their preferred option and they would come back to me with an offer for compensation. I agreed with them - it's probably pointless expecting them to move the camp a little down the road. If they were going to move it, it would have to be five or 10 kilometres away."
Mr Stiller said the QGC executives presented a formal letter of apology from senior vice president, Jim Knudsen, admitting "poor consultation".
"They told me they wished this had never happened and the person who had picked the campsite in the first place had made a mistake," he said.
"I just told them the decision would have gone through many other sets of hands before construction started and it should have raised some alarm bells with someone."
Mr Stiller raised concerns with QGC more than eight months ago when he learnt the company planned to build a 600-room camp less than 200m from his front door.
Under QGC's land access code of conduct, no company infrastructure should be built within 400m of a dwelling, including if it is on a neighbouring property.
