Instant Feedback

Public Comment Is Now Closed

NOPSEMA have provided all submissions made through public comment to Pilot Energy.  We are currently reviewing the submissions.

This forum is for sharing your views on the NERA Commercial Fishing Industry Adjustment Protocol.  The Document can be viewed here

CONSULTATION EXTENDED: 

Following community feedback our activity design has taken longer than expected. This has delayed the presentation of our environmental assessments. Therefore we have added another month to our consultation period before submission of the Environment Plan.

What we've heard so far...

Discover what we have learned through our extensive consultation process, how we have actively listened to the community, and engaged them in environmental management decision-making on our website's dedicated page.

Relevant Person Information Sessions

Information Sessions were run in Geraldton, Port Denison, Jurien Bay and Cervantes in May 2023.
