NOPTA cost recovery changes: have your say

6 November 2025

We recently reviewed our Cost Recovery Implementation Statement (CRIS). We welcome your comments on the proposed changes by 5pm AEST 20 November 2025.

We are proposing an increase to fees and levies from 1 May 2026 to ensure we can meet ongoing operational costs. This will be reviewed in 12 months.

Our operational costs increased in the past 12 months due to:

• continued growth in greenhouse gas activity and costs
• increased complexity of transactions in a maturing oil and gas industry
• increasing legal complexities and regulatory challenges.

The proposed changes are to ensure we can meet the challenges associated with:

• maintaining financial sustainability and effective regulation
• operating in a complex, rapidly evolving environment
• keeping pace with inflation (our fees and levies aren’t automatically indexed).

Have your say

Read the draft CRIS and have your say in our Consultation hub by 5pm AEST 20 November 2025.
