Gas project put on back burner
Bass Coast Shire Council welcomes the State Government’s recent decision to rule out AGL’s proposed gas import terminal and pipeline project for Crib Point.
Minister for Planning, Richard Wynne, found that the project would cause unacceptable impacts on the marine environment in Western Port, an important Ramsar Wetland of international significance.
At its March 2020 Council Meeting, Council resolved to declare its opposition to the development of fossil fuel assets on Western Port and in particular, to AGL’s proposed Gas Import Jetty project for Crib Point.
Council made a submission against the project to the Independent Inquiry and Advisory Committee, stating that the proposal presented substantial risk to the unique environment of Western Port, its diverse habitats, including mangroves, saltmarshes, seagrasses and important migratory shorebirds.
