THE Federal Government has taken the next step to formally reject the application for the Offshore Petroleum Exploration Permit PEP-11.
The Prime Minister has written to Deputy Premier Paul Toole, as the joint authority partner, advising of the Government’s proposed decision.
Federal Member for Robertson Lucy Wicks MP said the Government was delivering on its promise to the Central Coast and ensuring that PEP-11 does not go ahead.
“In April 2021, I stood with hundreds of Coasties at the PEP-11 rally at the Haven as we announced that under a Morrison government, PEP-11 would not go ahead,” Ms Wicks said.
