Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 860 asked in the Legislative Council on 19 September 2018 by Hon Robin Chapple

Parliament: 40 Session: 1

BURRUP AND MAITLAND INDUSTRIAL ESTATES AGREEMENT — LNG FACILITY

860. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the minister representing the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade:

I refer to the development of the Woodside LNG transfer facility.

(1) Was section 19.1 of the Burrup and Maitland Industrial Estates Agreement complied with?

(2) If yes to (1), how was this done?

(3) If no to (1), why not?

(4) Will the minister table all relevant documents pertaining to this lodgement?

(5) If no to (4), why not?

Hon DARREN WEST replied:

I thank the honourable member for some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Regional Development representing the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade, I provide the following information. The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation advises the following.

(1)–(5) The department understands the member to be referring to a LNG truck loading facility constructed on land leased by Woodside's Pluto project from LandCorp. If so, installation of infrastructure on already cleared land would not have additional compliance obligations under the Burrup and Maitland Industrial Estates Agreement or the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. Woodside is nonetheless informed of its obligations under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972 whenever any new developments are proposed to the state, irrespective of whether these developments are subject to the Burrup and Maitland Industrial Estates Agreement. Additional questions should be directed to the Minister for Lands.
