A plan to import LNG into Australia using a floating storage and regasification unit (FSRU) has been rejected due to environmental concerns.
The Victoria state government ruled against the project over concerns that the import terminal would “damage internationally recognised wetlands”.
The decision is said to be based on an environment effects statement produced by AGL Energy, around 6,000 public submissions, and a report into the findings of the statement by an independent inquiry and advisory committee.
