Regional Australia essential to industry: APPEA
Long-term business investment, onshore development and cleaner energy technologies will ensure regional jobs into the future, according to CEO of the Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association, Andrew McConville.
Public support for gas is only the first step to encourage investment in Australian projects, he said in a speech addressing the Regional Australia Institute’s Regions Rising National Summit in Canberra today.
Mr McConville appealed to regional stakeholders about the importance of developing new gas basins and the benefits of onshore and offshore developments to regional communities.
“The onshore gas industry makes a significant contribution to regional economies through direct jobs, local contracts and community investment,” he said.
