"New legislation that will pave the way for a geothermal industry in Western Australia has been passed by both Houses of State Parliament.
Resources Minister Francis Logan said the passage of the legislation was a significant milestone in the State Government’s commitment to renewable energy.
Mr Logan said the legislation, which amended the Petroleum Act (1967) and would be proclaimed later this month, would provide for the exploration and production of geothermal energy resources across the State."
