Where

ANZ Docklands
833 Collins St
Docklands VIC 3008
Australia

Why

ANZ is the only ‘big four bank’ able to directly fund pipelines to unleash widespread fracking in the Beetaloo Basin. With your help, that could all change.

Will you join us for the day of action?

  • When: Wednesday 21 October 2026, 12pm
  • Where: ANZ HQ, 833 Collins Street, Docklands

Together, we can Stop Beetaloo fracking in its tracks.

Why ANZ and why now?

ANZ’s gas client, APA Group, plans to build thousands of kilometres of new pipelines to unleash widespread gas fracking in the Beetaloo Basin in the Northern Territory.

With APA’s pipelines, Beetaloo risks becoming not just one of the world’s largest fracked shale gas basins, but one of the largest gas fields ever developed.1

But here is the catch – APA Group needs billions of dollars in funding from the banks to turn its pipe dreams into a climate-wrecking reality.

Enter, ANZ – Australia’s biggest funder of fossil fuels.

ANZ is the only big four Australian bank whose current policies leave the door open to directly funding APA’s Beetaloo pipelines.

But with your help, we have a chance to make ANZ rule out funding the pipeline!

In just a few weeks ANZ’s board will meet to decide on adopting a policy to rule out funding pipelines dedicated to new gas fields – fields like Beetaloo!

That’s why we’re inviting you to join dozens of customers, shareholders, staff and concerned community members turning out in peaceful protest on the 21st to send a message to ANZ’s decision makers: Don’t Frack the Outback!
