The proposal comprises the construction and operation of a natural gas processing facility with a nominal production capacity of 250 terajoules per day, up to six (6) natural gas production wellheads, and an infield gathering system and transmission pipeline for transporting gas via the central processing facility for treatment and export to the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline.

Why your views matter

At this initial stage of the EIA process, comment is simply sought on whether or not the EPA should assess a proposal and, if so, what level of assessment is considered appropriate.

What happens next

Following the seven day public comment period and consideration of any comments received, the EPA will decide whether or not this proposal requires environmental impact assessment and, if so, what level of assessment will be applied.

The EPA's decisions on level of assessment are released each Monday on the EPA's website.
