This paper provides some background information on PEP 11 and an overview of the current regulatory framework. The body of the paper is a timeline of key regulatory and parliamentary developments leading up to an
inquiry into the Minerals Legislation Amendment (Offshore Drilling and Associated Infrastructure Prohibition) Bill 2023.
