Australis Chambers - Great Australian Bight Alliance Ambassador

Since 2016, BP (in October 2016), Chevron (in October 2017) and, most recently, Equinor (in late February 2020) have each withdrawn plans to drill for oil in the Great Australian Bight.

Australis Chambers, as a proudly South Australian owned and operated legal practice, is honoured to be a Great Australian Bight Alliance Ambassador:

• Australis Chambers acknowledges that the Great Australian Bight is a pristine marine environment that both directly and indirectly supports businesses across southern Australia.

• Australis Chambers believes the environment, our coastal way of life and thriving business communities would all be put at unacceptable risk by oil exploration.

• Together with people, communities, councils and organisations from across southern Australia – those who are at greatest threat from an oil spill - we call for the protection of the Bight from the risks of deep-sea drilling.
