Description: The inquiry into Viva's gas import terminal proposal found that the report is so deficient that Viva have been asked to redo significant portions of their
Let's remind them that we know about the flaws, risks and lost opportunities that come with approving this project.
On the 8th of March 2023, the Victorian Government stated that they had “been left with no choice” but to request that Viva redo elements of their Environmental Effects Statement after the Independent Inquiry and Advisory Committee was unable to determine if the project would have “an acceptable or an unacceptable level of environmental impact” .
While this isn’t the outright rejection that we hoped for — but this isn’t a bad outcome . It means that Viva need to spend more time and money to fix their mistakes, meanwhile we as a state and a community have more time to help get our houses and businesses off gas. Thus undermining the business case for gas terminals and giving more time for our Government, with our vocal assistance, to come to their senses on fossil gas.
