WHEATSTONE LNG PROJECT — ACCOMMODATION —
ONSLOW
1182. Hon STEPHEN DAWSON to the Leader of
the House representing the Minister for State Development:
I refer to the decision by the
Premier to allow Chevron to change the terms of the state development agreement
relating to the Wheatstone project to no longer require the building of workers'
accommodation in Onslow, and his comments about the SDA that ''some
initial components of it have been revisited''.
(1) Will the Premier guarantee that —
(a) the people of Onslow will have a
desalination plant provided by Chevron; and
(b) Chevron will
be building, and handing over to Horizon Power, a nine-megawatt power station
in Onslow by 2016, as previously promised?
(2) If no to (1)(a) or (b), why not?
(3) Has Chevron
discussed any other changes to the state agreement with the minister's
office; and, if so, what changes?

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question, which is not entirely what the honourable member
said, but I know what he needs.
Chevron's decision to base
its fly in, fly out operational workforce at Ashburton North industrial estate
did not require any change to the state development agreement.
(1) (a)–(b)
The state development agreement requires Chevron to build a desalination plant
and a nine-megawatt power station, and Chevron continues to work closely with
both the Water Corporation and Horizon Power to deliver these facilities as
scheduled during 2016.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Chevron has not proposed any
changes to the state development agreement.
