HYDROGEN AND AMMONIA PRODUCTION FACILITY
873. Hon COLIN de GRUSSA to the minister representing the
Minister for Lands:
I refer to question without notice
850 asked yesterday regarding Woodside's hydrogen and ammonia facility.
(1) Were any monetary concessions or other concessions
offered to Woodside other than an option to lease land?
(2) Did the
government have a preferred location for the facility; and, if yes, what was
this preferred location?
(3) Which
regional sites were proposed to Woodside for the location of this facility,
what is the land area of each site and what incentives were offered for those
sites?
(4) Why were those regional sites rejected by Woodside
in favour of land within the boundaries of the metropolitan regional
scheme?
Hon
ALANNAH MacTIERNAN replied:
I thank the member for the
question. The Minister for Lands has provided the following information.
(1)–(2) No.
(3) All strategic
industrial areas that met Woodside's criteria were discussed as
possible locations. Land areas of approximately 100 hectares were discussed. No
incentives were offered.
(4) This question
needs to be answered by Woodside.
