Now for those who dont whether or not the drill comes in under state or commonwealth waters see below

"Petroleum projects in NSW waters (within three nautical miles of the coast) are regulated by NSW DPI through the Petroleum (Submerged Lands) Act 1982.

Petroleum projects beyond NSW waters (outside three nautical miles of territorial sea) are regulated by the Commonwealth Petroleum (Submerged Lands) (Management of Environment) Regulations 1999."
