The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation advises:
(a) December 2019.
(b) The information will be updated as part of the current compliance monitoring cycle.
(c) The Western Australian LNG Project Domestic Gas Agreements table was first published in June 2018 as part of a refresh of WA Domestic Gas Policy information on the department’s website, with a view to being updated on an annual basis.
(d) Annual reporting is specified in LNG exporters’ contractual domestic gas commitments with the State. The department assesses compliance on that basis. The framework outlines information the department needs to determine commitments are being given effect.
(e) No. Domestic gas commitments are long term instruments that apply for the life of the LNG project. Annual reporting is sufficient for the purposes of monitoring compliance.
(f) Not applicable.
