The NSW Government is inviting input from the community and industry on revised environmental assessment guidelines for mineral and petroleum (including coal seam gas (CSG)) exploration activities.
The guidelines have been developed by NSW Trade & Investment – Division of Resources & Energy, in consultation with the Office of Environment & Heritage, NSW Office of Water and the Department of Planning & Infrastructure.
The guidelines will strengthen environmental assessment requirements for mineral and petroleum exploration activities.
In particular, additional requirements for petroleum exploration activities will help to ensure that these activities are safe and environmentally appropriate.
