JAMES PRICE POINT — LAND CAPACITY
I refer to the Minister for State Development’s comments on the ABC Stateline program on Friday, 8 October 2010 that Woodside may well lead the first project to be developed and located at James Price Point and in six years, maybe over the next 10 years, he would expect perhaps up to three plants to be co-located at that site. (1) Is the land currently under compulsory acquisition for gas facilities, pipelines, support industry and accommodation large enough for three plants to be co-located at that site? (2) If yes to (1), how? (3) If no to (1), will further areas need to be acquired for future industrial expansion? (4) If yes to (3), how will this be acquired? Hon NORMAN MOORE

I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1) Yes. (2) The precinct has been designed with a capacity of 50 million tonnes of LNG per year. It is envisaged that within the 2 090 hectares designated for processing and port land—see Hansard reference 653—the following division of land will occur: Woodside, as potential foundation proponent, would occupy a 500-hectare industrial block to allow production of up to 25 million tonnes of LNG a year; a further 500-hectare industrial block will accommodate second and third users for an additional 25 million tonnes a year of LNG production capacity; 110 hectares would be designated port land; and the remaining 980 hectares will be provided for internal roads, lay-down areas and other common-user infrastructure associated with precinct operation. (3)–(4) Not applicable.
