First Nation's Consultation

Cooper Energy (CH) Pty Ltd (Cooper Energy) plan to conduct gas exploration drilling near our existing subsea infrastructure and within our offshore Otway Basin licence areas offshore from Peterborough, Victoria. We expect our exploration drilling will confirm additional volumes of gas. If so, we will work through the required approvals, licences and activities to produce the gas via our existing subsea infrastructure. The Otway Basin has been producing gas for decades, and we are planning to provide gas supply exclusively to the domestic market to help alleviate the forecast shortages.

We are consulting with First Nations peoples whose functions, interests or activities may be affected by our proposed activities. Potential impacts and risks on tangible and intangible cultural heritage include subsea noise, seabed disturbance and the unlikely event of an oil spill. Please meet with us so we can hear your views and look at potential ways to further mitigate potential impacts and risks and improve our environment plan.

No bookings required for the drop-in sessions, but please email stakeholder@cooperenergy.com.au to register for the remaining online session.
