Victoria approves first gas extraction project in a decade near Twelve Apostles.
Victoria has approved its first gas extraction project in a decade, near the Twelve Apostles, despite its plans to wean the state's households off the fossil fuel. Beach Energy's plan to pipe gas from an offshore field near Port Campbell, in western Victoria, from 30 June has been approved, under the condition that it sells the gas to domestic customers first. The government said the gas will be available for home and business use in Victoria, as the first application for new gas extraction since 2014.
