BROWSE LNG
PROJECT — GAS PRECINCT
265. Hon ROBIN CHAPPLE to the Leader of the House
representing the Premier:
This is question C267.
I refer to the statement by the Premier; Minister for State
Development on Thursday, 20 June 2013 that the state intends to proceed with
the compulsory acquisition of land for a gas precinct near James Price Point to
encourage development of the offshore Browse Basin and onshore Canning Basin
gas fields.
(1) Is the
liquefied natural gas precinct, to which both the 2011 Browse precinct project
agreement and the 2008 strategic assessment agreement with the commonwealth
government relate, for the processing of gas for the Browse Basin only?
(2) If no to (1), why not?
(3) Did any of
the series of notices given for the compulsory acquisition of the land under
the commonwealth Native Title Act 1993 and the state Land Administration Act
1997 refer to the purpose of the acquisition as being related to the Canning
Basin fields or identify it as a relevant purpose?
(4) If yes to (3), in what part of the relevant notice?

approval for this, but if it arrives before the end of question time, I will
