Implementation Progress
Government accepted this recommendation that Strategic Regional Environment Baseline Assessments (SREBAs) be completed before additional production approvals are granted. Work has commenced to determine the methodologies for undertaking the SREBAs. The target completion date for approval of these methodologies is mid-2019. Once the methodologies and overall Framework is approved the SREBAs for specific areas such as the Beetaloo Sub-basin can be undertaken and completed.
