Implementation progress

The Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing Implementation Plan (the Implementation Plan) responds to the recommendations from the Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing in the Northern Territory. Read the Inquiry's Final Report and recommendations on the Scientific Inquiry into Hydraulic Fracturing in the Northern Territory website.

The Implementation Plan was developed in collaboration with relevant Northern Territory Government departments and outlines responsible agencies, actions and stages of implementation.

The focus of the Implementation Plan was to:

• strengthen regulation
• ensure industry is accountable for its practices
• safeguard water and the environment
• respect community and culture
• maximise the benefits and opportunities available to local businesses and communities
• ensure planning for future development.

The Implementation Plan is in 2 parts:

• a high-level summary of the 3 stages of implementation, and how and when each recommendation would be implemented
• a list of recommendations and detail on how each will be implemented.
