I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question. On behalf of the Minister for Regional Development
representing the Minister for State Development, Jobs and Trade, I provide the
following information. The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation
advises the following.
(1)–(5) The
department understands the member to be referring to a LNG truck loading
facility constructed on land leased by Woodside's Pluto project from
LandCorp. If so, installation of infrastructure on already cleared land would
not have additional compliance obligations under the Burrup and Maitland
Industrial Estates Agreement or the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972. Woodside is
nonetheless informed of its obligations under the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972
whenever any new developments are proposed to the state, irrespective of
whether these developments are subject to the Burrup and Maitland Industrial
Estates Agreement. Additional questions should be directed to the Minister for
Lands.
