Table 1. “Commercial and Civil matters” reprinted and adapted from “State Administrative Tribunal Western Australia Register of Proceedings,” by the State Administrative Tribunal in accordance with s 155 of the State Administrative Tribunal Act 2004, as at 2 October 2021 5:30PM, GPO Box U1991 PERTH Western Australia 6845, (2021) https://www.sat.justice.wa.gov.au/_files/Register_Proceedings.pdf
Of the Matters lodged on the 30/09/2020 in the commercial and civil section according to SAT’s register of proceedings, (three) Onshore Energy Pty Ltd’s application is the only one pending.
Of the Matters lodged in October 2020 in the commercial and civil section according to SAT’s register of proceedings, (sixty-six matters) there are five matters still pending. Therefore, according to October 2020’s data, there is a 7.58% chance to be still stuck in the State Administrative Tribunal process since that time.
ASX announcement:MMR 03/04/2018 titled “EP386 title extension” says the following: “DMIRS has granted Onshore Energy a 24 month title extension to EP386 to 31 March 2020.”
Looking at Section 82(1)(c), is their argument that EP386 was superseded, overlapped or ruled out of order due to “an entry wrongly existing in the register” after their application for extension was rejected? If so, I would imagine it would have been a relatively easy case to resolve. Since the argument or the problem for the case is not fully explained in the ASX announcements I assume the case does not favour the applicant.

Nevertheless, I believe the outcome of the State Administrative Tribunal’s EP386 matter is important to the operations of Advent Energy. If EP386 was to be reinstated, it would cost resources to maintain and progress. If EP386’s matter is rejected by the SAT then it might be viewed as evidence of the parental company which may or may not affect the decision of PEP-11’s future regulatory applications. “1.39 Past performance refers to the applicant, parent company, where applicable, and/or company director’s history, against the publicly available Titles Registers over the previous five years, such as cancellations or expiries in default under the OPGGS Act.” Offshore Petroleum Exploration Guideline: Work-bid, in relation to the Offshore Petroleum and Greenhouse Gas Storage Act 2006, by the Australian Government Department of Industry, Innovation and Science (2015) http://www.nopta.gov.au/_documents/guidelines/Offshore-Petroleum-Exploration-Guideline-Work-bid.pdf
When one looks at the DMIRS Environmental Assessment and Regulatory System it is difficult to find the EP386 historical records. One of which is the following: https://ace.dmp.wa.gov.au/ACE/Public/PetroleumProposals/ViewPlanSummary?registrationId=76378
