Obviously this is for Newcastle, Australia, since it is part of Aussie Zone. We also welcome input from adjoining Lake Macquarie. Keep it clean and don't be mean.

  • In short: Asset Energy Pty Ltd says it's committed to a drilling project to extract gas off the NSW coast, despite government opposition.
  • The Petroleum Exploration Permit 11 (PEP 11) would allow 4500 square kilometres of seabed between Newcastle and Sydney to be searched for natural gas reserves.
  • What's next? The NSW government will introduce a bill to prohibit seabed petroleum and mineral exploration and recovery in NSW coastal waters.
