Local landholder and Save Our Darling Downs chairman Stuart Armitage said he was in negotiations for Arrow to conduct trials on his property, but had been told by company officials at a meeting last week that he could not be provided maps which listed where gravel roads, power lines, pipelines and any other infrastructure intended to be constructed across his farm.
Mr Armitage said it should be part of the company's social licence to provide this "essential" information to landholders.
"The ball is in Arrow's court," he said.
"We need to be shown what their project is going to look like so we can understand what these impacts will be.
"It is either a case that Arrow don't know what their project will look like, which I don't believe considering we are talking about a multibillion project.
"Or they are not willing to tell us - and if that is the case, we struggle to commit to our dialogue with this company because we don't know what is going to happen to our farm."
An Arrow spokesperson said coexistence had been a longstanding commitment for the company which included flexibility on power supply, either overhead or underground power, in discussion with the landholder.
