Plain English Summary

3/10 complexity

These Regulations identify specific offshore gas projects and sedimentary basins for the purposes of section 5(4)(b) of the Nuclear Waste Transport, Storage and Disposal (Prohibition) Act 2004 and give examples of what count as economic and social benefits. They commence on notification in the Gazette.

They affect operators and proponents of the named projects and activities in the listed basins by fixing which projects/basins and which types of benefits are treated as “prescribed” for the Act’s purposes, thereby determining how the Act’s prohibition framework applies.
