The NSW Gas Plan sets out the regulations for all Coal Seam Gas (CSG) activities in the State. Importantly, the NSW Gas Plan is based on the findings of the Chief Scientist and Engineer's Independent Review of CSG Activities in New South Wales.
The State Environmental Planning Policy (Mining, Petroleum Production and Extractive Industries) 2007 (Mining SEPP) establishes a consistent approach to the assessment and regulation of gas projects in NSW.
You can visit the major projects register to search for the name or location of a project.
The NSW Government has introduced CSG exclusion zones to make residential areas ‘off limits’ to new coal seam gas activity.
CSG exclusion zones came into force in October 2013 for existing residential areas in all 152 local government areas in NSW, and the North West and South West Growth Centres of Sydney.
In January 2014, the Government introduced CSG exclusion zones for additional future residential growth areas and seven rural villages across NSW, and the equine and viticulture critical industry clusters in the Upper Hunter.
The exclusion zones ban new coal seam gas activity within a two-kilometre buffer around existing and future residential areas and within the mapped critical industry clusters.
