Santos is required to submit environment plans for its proposed activities to the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority (NOPSEMA) for acceptance. In preparing an environment plan for submission to NOPSEMA, Santos must identify and consult with ‘relevant persons’.
A relevant person includes a relevant Commonwealth, State and Northern Territory Department or agency, and a person or an organisation whose functions, interests or activities may be affected by an activity proposed to be carried out under an environment plan. Such functions, interests or activities may include those arising in relation to spiritual or cultural connections to land and sea country, tourism, recreational and commercial fishing, other commercial or recreational activities and local communities that might be affected by the proposed activity or activities (though these are merely illustrative examples and not an exhaustive list).

Undertaking genuine and meaningful consultation with relevant persons is a key part of preparing the relevant environment plan. In light of this, Santos will be seeking feedback and input from relevant persons about how they may be affected by proposed activities and matters they would like Santos to consider in developing the relevant environment plan. Learnings from the consultation with relevant persons will be considered and where appropriate may inform development of, and be incorporated into, the relevant environment plan prior to submission to NOPSEMA.
As a first step, Santos is seeking to identify relevant persons. Santos is seeking the names, contact details, feedback as to relevance and preferred manner of consultation for relevant persons (or potential relevant persons) in relation to Santos’ proposed activities. Details about each of these proposed activities are available on Santos’ website. This information may assist you to assess whether you are or may be a relevant person for a particular activity or activities. The feedback received will assist Santos to provide each relevant person with information for them to better understand how the proposed activity may affect them, how to consult with them and how to seek further relevant persons’ feedback.
If you consider you or your organisation’s functions, interests or activities may be affected and you would like to nominate as a potential relevant person, please contact Santos on 1800 267 600 or by email offshore.consultation@santos.com, or complete the online form below to be included in consultations and provide feedback on how you would like to be consulted (as a relevant person).
If requested, any sensitive information provided in the below Relevant Person Nomination and Feedback Form, and otherwise during the consultation process, will not be published or otherwise made publicly available (other than as required by law).
