Published: 01 Jan 1967 Created: 19 Nov 2024 Revised: 15 Jan 2025

Location of all current Access Authorities issued under the Petroleum and Geothermal Energy Act 2000 (the P&GE Act supersedes the Petroleum Act 2000). A permittee, lessee or licensee may make an application to the Minister for the grant of an access authority to enable him to carry on in an area, being part of the adjacent area that is not part of the permit area, lease area or licence area, petroleum exploration operations or operations related to the recovery of petroleum in or from the permit area, lease area or licence area. A holder of a Commonwealth title or a State title may make an application to the Minister for the grant of an access authority to enable the holder to carry on, in a part of the adjacent area, petroleum exploration operations or operations related to the recovery of petroleum in or from the area to which that Commonwealth or State title relates. The holder of a special prospecting authority may make an application to the Minister for the grant of an access authority to enable the applicant to carry on petroleum exploration operations in an area, being part of the adjacent area not included in any block that is the subject of the special prospecting authority. An Access Authority may be extended by the Minister for a further period. Exploration programs are subject to strict environmental and heritage conditions. Exploitation of identified resources must be made under separate petroleum production leases.

Source Data History: Access Authority boundaries were sourced from the official Petroleum Register authority documents. Authority boundaries are legally defined to follow lines of latitude and longitude, based on potentially several geodetic datums. Processing Steps: Coordinates entered by keyboard from authority documents. Non GDA94 coordinates transformed into GDA94. Linework cleaned to remove duplicate arcs. Data adjusted for accurate state border and coastline. Where appropriate cadastral parcels removed from authority polygons. Associated attribute data also captured from authority documents. Positional accuracy:Most boundary locations are constructed from lines of latitude and longitude, hence are scale independent. The accuracy of other boundaries is dependent upon the source, eg. state border, coastline, cadastre. Attribute accuracy:Validation checks are performed periodically, resulting in an estimated 90% accuracy. Logical consistency:The dataset contains no overshoots, undershoots or duplicate lines. All polygons representing authorities contain only one label. Completeness:Spatial data is 100% complete. Associated attribute data is 100% complete. More +
