Western Australia’s Premier Mark McGowan announced new hydraulic fracturing regulations on 27 November, following a review. He said that fracking will not be allowed in 98 per cent of the state, even though the review had found the risks associated with it are "low and manageable". Some of the licences held by a joint venture between Andrew Forrest’s Squadron Energy and Goshawk Energy will be impacted by the new regulations. Australian Petroleum Production & Exploration Association CEO Malcolm Roberts says it would have been preferable if the moratorium on fracking had been removed across the whole state.

The Yawuru Native Title Holders Aboriginal Corporation has rejected a push by the listed Buru Energy for access to traditional lands in order to carry out hydraulic fracturing. However the company already has the necessary exploration permits, while there is no right for the Yawuru people to force talks under the Native Title Act. Buru has signalled it wants to co-operate with the traditional owners on the shale gas exploration, and has stressed the positive effect on job creation and affordable gas supplies in Western Australia. Buru is setting the pace among groups trying to tap the Canning Basin unconventional gas region
