Tetra4 CLUSTER 2 Virginia Gas Production Project

In 2022, Tetra4 (the applicant) commenced with an application for Environmental Authorisation for the Cluster 2 gas production activities which would form an extension to the existing Cluster 1 gas production being undertaken near Virginia in the Free State Province. The application followed a full Scoping and Environmental Impact Assessment process which culminated in a positive Environmental Authorisation. The EA was subsequently appealed and the DFFE Ministers decision on the appeals required certain further assessments, public participation and thereafter reconsideration of the EA decision by the DMPR Minister. The updated Environmental Impact Assessment Report was previously made available for public review. Comments received during the public review period were considered and where necessary the relevant reports were adapted. The Final reports have subsequently been submitted to the Competent Authority for consideration and decision making. Please see below links to download the Final Reports that were submitted.

All registered I&AP’s will be advised once a decision has been made on the application and revised reports.
