Abstract

Petroleum (Onshore) Amendment (Cancellation of Zombie Petroleum Exploration Licences) Bill 2021 - Submission No. 1

The objectives of the Petroleum (Onshore) Amendment (Cancellation of Zombie Petroleum Exploration Licences) Bill 2021 are twofold: first, to provide for the expiry of petroleum exploration licences at the end of their respective term unless renewed and second, to cancel exploration licences remaining in force due to a pending renewal application.
Our submission will focus on aspects of agricultural land preservation, since there are particular risks associated with petroleum exploration licences remaining dormant for substantial periods of time. Such risks will become evident if pending renewal applications are granted over exploration licences on Biophysical Strategic Agricultural Land within the Liverpool Region and surrounding areas.
