Abstract Confining strata, or aquitards that act as low permeability seepage barriers, can limit potential impacts of depressurization or dewatering and migration of contaminants associated with mining and coal seam gas (CSG) development. Innovative geophysical and hydrochemical methods are recommended in a staged approach to best practice aquitard assessment including coupled numerical modelling. For example, tests of drill core in the new NCGRT geotechnical centrifuge have enabled relatively rapid measurement of permeability or vertical hydraulic conductivity (Kv) of clayey sediments and shale (Kv 10-9 to
