The Australian Petroleum Production and Exploration Association (Appea) on Friday welcomed the Western Australian government’s formal response to recommendations made by a Parliamentary inquiry in November last year.
The state government adopted 10 of the 12 recommendations made by the Environment and Public Affairs Committee, in November, which included amendments to the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Resources Act, as well as greater consultation between the Department of Mines and Petroleum, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the Water Corporation.
