State Environmental Planning Policy (Mining, Petroleum Production and Extractive Industries) Amendment 2014


The Department of Planning & Environment exhibited proposed amendments to the coal seam gas and mining reforms announced in January 2014. The changes have now been finalised. The policy changes: ensure a consistent approach to transitional arrangements for the Gateway process adjust CSG exclusion zone mapping - an additional 19 properties are proposed to be added to the viticulture Critical Industry Cluster clarify that minor modifications of existing CSG projects within CSG exclusion zones, which do not enlarge, expand or intensify CSG development are permissible clarify the application of State significant development criteria for CSG exploration wells. Importantly, no additional coal seam gas development will be allowed in CSG exclusion zones as a result of these changes. The policy will continue to safeguard homes and valuable agricultural land in NSW from the impacts of coal seam gas and coal mining activities.
