BARROW
ISLAND — CHEVRON PROCESSING FACILITY
787. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the
Leader of the House representing the Minister for State Development:
I refer to the article in The
Australian on 30 October 2013, entitled ''Chevron seeks bigger bite
out of Barrow''.
(1) What are
the various areas being used by Chevron, confirmed in the question that was
asked in yesterday's The
Australian that the Gorgon partners were in fact using cleared land on
Barrow Island in addition to the 300 hectare footprint?
(2) With
respect to the answer to (1), what are the individual sizes of these areas and
their cumulative size?
(3) Does the
use of these areas breach the gas processing area as described in section 9 of
the Barrow Island Act 2003?
(4) If no to
(3), why not?

in on Thursday, 31 October. You should have had it.
