Gas exploration will be allowed to be considered in some parts of the Hunter
July 21, 2021
The NSW Government is ruling out gas production under the majority of Petroleum Exploration Licences (zombie pels) with the exception of those that support the Narrabri Gas project.
Deputy Premier and Minister for Regional NSW John Barilaro has released the Future of Gas statement which includes a map of where gas exploration will be prohibited, but also where it will be considered.
The plan also outlines where the Government sees gas in the future, and its role and says it does play a key role in supporting access to affordable energy and business growth within NSW and the Statement gives industry bodies, regional communities and farmers greater certainty around jobs, economic prosperity and land use.
The Nannas called on all parties to support a private member’s bill being proposed by Justin Field, an independent MP, to cancel all the PELs to assist First Nations’ peoples, regional communities and more.
“The Santos Narrabri Gas Project of 850 gas wells was given conditional approval by the Independent Planning Commission in September last year,” Marie Flood said.
“If the expired licences are resuscitated by the NSW government, Santos and other gas companies will resume exploration to expand gas mining and turn the North West into an industrialised wasteland. This has already happened in Queensland.
“Moves by gas companies to reactivate the PELs are also a response to the federal government sinking billions of taxpayer dollars into five new gas fields across the country: the entire Gunnedah Basin, where the Narrabri Gas Project is located, is one of the [Scott] Morrison government’s gas targets,” Flood said.
