The Western Australian government has awarded ASX-listed Strike Energy Lead Agency Status for its West Erregulla gas project.
Under the Lead Agency Framework, the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation will provide the West Erregulla project with case-management for government interfaces, and the coordination of approvals across a range of government departments.
Strike said on Thursday that the lead agency status would assist the company in navigating and expediting the approvals process, and would ensure sufficient communication with the government agencies.
