The Australian Federal Environment Minister Peter Garrett gave the go-ahead to the Gorgon Gas Project on Barrow Island today. Garrett travelled to Barrow Island with Chevron representatives to assure himself that the environment would be taken care of during all phases of the project.
In doing so, Garrett imposed nearly 30 further environmental conditions on the project (Barrow Island is home to a number of endangered species and is often referred to by environmentalists as Australia's Ark).
Construction is now due to start on the project later this year.
