Australian Energy and Resources Update
22 December 2014
Welcome to our monthly update on Australian energy and resources-related legal developments.
Highlights this month include the New South Wales government's cancellation of all licence applications for coal seam gas (CSG) exploration, introducing a tender process for gas exploration. We also cover the rapid implementation of elements of the Australian Government‟s Direct Action Plan for emissions reductions, following the passage of the Carbon Farming Initiative Amendment Bill at the end of November.
This update is intended as a snapshot and not specific legal advice (nor an exhaustive coverage of all relevant issues). If you would like further information on any specific issue, please let us know.
