I thank the member for some notice of this question. (1)-(4) Planning for the Bunbury to Albany natural gas pipeline, including the determination of cost, is expected to commence over coming months. The initial focus will be on establishing the corridor in consultation with private landowners and other affected parties and acquiring land and requisite approvals. It is premature to establish a finite time line until this planning phase is completed.
