ABORIGINAL HERITAGE SITES — WOODSIDE ACID GAS
EMISSIONS — BURRUP PENINSULA
744. Hon Dr BRAD PETTITT to the Minister for Aboriginal
Affairs:
I
refer to question on notice 193 and the minister's answer (a)–(b)
that states ''Woodside holds two section 18 consents'' under the Aboriginal Heritage Act for activities on
the Burrup Peninsula. However, Woodside's website lists five section
18s for those operations on the Burrup Peninsula.
(1) Can the
minister please advise which is correct—two or five section 18
consents?
(2) Will the
minister table the section 18 consent instruments referred to in (1) held by
Woodside?
Hon
STEPHEN DAWSON replied:
I thank the
honourable member for some notice of the question.
(1) Woodside
holds two section 18 consents specifically relating to the operations of a liquefied
natural gas plant. With respect to records prior to 2010, significant resources
are required to retrieve and review hard copy records that relate to section 18
notices that Woodside hold in relation to the Burrup Peninsula.
(2) Copies of the
two section 18 consents referred to in part (1) are attached and I table them.
