TGS has officially withdrawn its seismic testing proposal for the Otway Basin.

This decision is testament to the amazing groundswell of community advocacy across our region.

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.

You came to me raising concerns about the proponent’s consultation, I acted on your concerns and NOPSEMA did listen.

This is democracy in action.

This is coastal communities working together to protect our marine environment.
