The Environmental Protection Authority released its report on James Price Point in July, recommending the proposed gas plant go ahead with strict conditions.

The report got a record number of public appeals - more than 200. Since then the appeals committee has examined 26 grounds for appeal, and then handed a report to the Emvironment Minister Bill Marmion.

Mr Marmion has now made a determination on those, dismissing some and upholding others. He says he's also strengthened conditions for protecting whales and dugongs, and the risk of air emissions.

He said he thinks his decision on the gas precinct will be made public before Christmas. Read the appeals reports here
