Consideration of foreshore applications for offshore energy developments, other than for site investigation works, was placed on hold by my Department pending the publication of the Offshore Renewable Energy Development Plan (OREDP). The Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources published the OREDP in February 2014. My Department is reviewing its approach to progressing all applications for offshore energy developments currently on hands in the context of the plan and other relevant policy developments.

All documentation received in regard to the foreshore lease application referred to in the Question can be viewed via my Department’s website at .
