Onshore gas exploration restarts in Victoria
The onshore conventional gas explorations sector has restarted in the Australian state of Victoria from July 1. The government had lifted the moratorium on onshore gas exploration last year.
The restart follows three years of detailed scientific investigations by the Victorian Gas Programme. It found an onshore conventional gas industry would not compromise Victoria’s environment or our vital agricultural sector.
South-west Victoria and Gippsland are the main regions set to benefit, where geoscience studies have located potentially significant onshore conventional gas resources, the government said earlier this year.
