Limestone Coast locals can finally breathe a sigh of relief with a 10-year ban on fracking in the South East having passed through the lower house.

Member from Mt Gambier Troy Bell has been pushing for the ban for over 4 years.

“This issue first popped up before the 2014 election. I gave a commitment to the community that I would look at it seriously. I travelled to America twice, and I’ve read more books on fracking then anybody would probably care to know. But from there I formed the view that the sensible way forward was a 10-year ban, and it’s very pleasing to see that it’s now come into effect.”

- Troy Bell

The Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Amendment Bill 2018 was introduced in July and quickly gained crucial liberal party support.

Mr. Bell acknowledged that it can’t be considered a “done deal” until the government signs the proposal, but he’s confident that will occur over the next week.
