A MUCH-criticised plan to carry out seismic blasting in the Otway Basin has been sunk, with proponents TGS officially withdrawing the proposal today (Thursday, September 26).<\/p>\n

Data firm TGS and energy company SLB were seeking a Special Prospecting Authority permit<\/a> to conduct seismic surveying, widely known as seismic blasting and a first step in oil and gas exploration, in an area located off the coast of south-west Victoria.<\/p>\n

A decision on the proposal’s Environment Plan was originally expected to be made on or about August 15, but was stalled twice in recent months<\/a> by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA).<\/p>\n

Community opposition to the proposal and its potential impact on marine life has been strong from the start, with public events drawing crowds of thousands. Protest actions included multiple paddle outs<\/a> and rallies in towns up and down the Great Ocean Road, reflecting widespread concern across the region.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Many residents and advocacy groups criticised the proponents for inadequate community consultation<\/a>, alleging that local voices were sidelined during the early stages of the proposal.<\/p>\n

Earlier today, TGS released an update on the proposal, stating: “With competing global priorities, TGS have decided not to proceed with the Otway 3D Multi-client Marine Seismic Survey Environment Plan at this time. We have notified NOPSEMA of this decision, withdrawing the current Environment Plan from NOPSEMA assessment.”<\/p>\n

Australian Marine Conservation Society oil and gas campaign manager Louise Morris said Australians had rejected the proposal.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeismic blasting is deadly for marine life and can impact all levels of the food chain, from its very foundations, killing zooplankton more than a kilometre away, to deafening whales and driving them away from their feeding and breeding grounds.<\/p>\n

“Seismic blasting damages other marine life, too, including killing scallops and impacting the immune systems of lobsters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe TGS seismic blasting proposal threatened endangered species such as the pygmy blue whale, and the Zeehan Commonwealth marine park.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe cannot allow more oil and gas industrialisation in Australia\u2019s south-east seas, where marine life is already experiencing multiple threats including climate change, with the waters there warming three to four times the global average and currently enduring a severe marine heatwave.”<\/p>\n

Mitch Pope, campaign manager for the OCEAN group, was elated at the project\u2019s withdrawal.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re absolutely over the moon to hear the news that TGS has withdrawn their project for seismic blasting,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis once again shows that when people and communities come together, we can make a real difference, and that\u2019s what we\u2019ve done.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery single person who has been to a March, rally, paddle out, written to their MP, or been part of the campaign in any way has helped keep TGS out of the southern ocean, and has been part of this win.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf it wasn\u2019t for the power of community, TGS would be out there seismic blasting right now, but they\u2019re not, because we have kept them out.”<\/p>\n

Victorian Greens Senator Steph Hodgins-May is coincidentally visiting Geelong and the Surf Coast today to discuss the issue.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Greens, together with local communities, environmentalists, First Nations groups, have been fighting this gas exploration proposal at every step of the way – and today we won.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, there are still more than a dozen gas projects being planned across Victoria. It\u2019s simple – no new coal and gas in a climate crisis.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Greens will continue to work alongside communities for an end to all new coal and gas exploration and extraction.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corangamite Labor federal member Libby Coker welcomed the withdrawal.<\/p>\n

“This decision is testament to the amazing groundswell of community advocacy across our region,” she said.<\/p>\n

“Congratulations to all community members who raised their voices and attended the Paddle Out in Torquay, the march through Ocean Grove, and the many events that occurred along our coastline.
\n“You came to me raising concerns about the proponent\u2019s consultation, I acted on your concerns and NOPSEMA did listen.<\/p>\n

“This is democracy in action. This is coastal communities working together to protect our marine environment.”<\/p>\n
