I thank the
honourable member for some notice of this question.
(1)–(6) It is proposed that the
following areas of land will be acquired by the government for the Browse LNG
precinct: 2 090 hectares for processing and port land; 400 hectares for
accommodation and light industrial land; and 1 040 hectares for port waters.
Additional unfenced ancillary areas required for onshore pipelines, roads and
services total up to 968 hectares of land. Up to 1 197.6 hectares of seabed is
required for offshore pipelines up to the three nautical mile limit of state
waters. ''Notifications of Intention to Take'' have been issued
over a series of overlapping areas totalling 7 457 hectares of land and 2 664.6
hectares of seabed. This is to allow sufficient flexibility to identify final
locations for each component of the Browse LNG precinct and associated
infrastructure, taking into account Aboriginal cultural heritage concerns as
well as environmental and geotechnical considerations. I have a map that I seek
to table.
(7) Not applicable.
