In July 2010, the Government gave its approval for the submission of the draft general scheme for the Geothermal Energy Development Bill to the Office of the Attorney General for detailed drafting. It was also decided to publish both the general scheme together with the Regulatory Impact Assessment. Both these documents were subsequently made available on the Department's website.

The drafting process is currently under way and publication is expected in Quarter 1 2011.
