Public Information Booklet Heritage Protection Agreement A Heritage Protection Agreement has been negotiated between the State, Woodside and the Kimberley Land Council. The agreement will cover the heritage protection and survey requirements for studies to be undertaken in relation to the Browse LNG Precinct as well as the layout of the Browse LNG Precinct and the facilities within the Precinct (including the marine facilities). 2.3. Environmental Assessment & Approval Process Both State and Commonwealth legislation requires assessment and Ministerial approval prior to the implementation of proposals that have the potential for significant impacts on the environment, as defined in the EP Act and EPBC Act. The Strategic Assessment of the LNG Precinct requires this assessment to be undertaken under Part IV of the EP Act and s146(1) of the EPBC Act. The State Government is preparing the Plan for the LNG Precinct and the assessment report required under the Strategic Assessment. The State has contracted environmental consultancy consortium AECOM/Strategen to coordinate completion of a draft Strategic Assessment Report. The Plan and Report will take some months to be assessed, with a decision by the State and Commonwealth Environment Ministers expected in late 2010. Project proponents will then need to comply with the arrangements for implementation of activities defined within the Plan, including all relevant approvals and management processes. 2.4. National Heritage Assessment The Strategic Assessment Agreement acknowledged the outstanding natural, Indigenous and historic heritage values of the Kimberley region. In addition to the Strategic Assessment of the Precinct, the State and Commonwealth Governments agreed to immediately commence a formal assessment of the National Heritage (and potentially international heritage) values in accordance with the requirements set out in the EPBC Act. This assessment commenced via the National Heritage Assessment (NHA) process. The assessment area for the NHA was accepted by the Australian Heritage Council (AHC) and the assessment commenced in June 2008. The NHA will be undertaken by the Commonwealth Government in parallel to the Strategic Assessment of the Browse LNG Precinct. It is anticipated that the NHA will be completed by mid 2010, with the National Heritage Council delivering the findings of the assessment and any recommendations for the area to be considered for listing expected to be made to the Commonwealth Minister for the Environment. 5279225 7
Public Information Booklet 3. Plan for the LNG Precinct The Strategic Assessment Agreement requires the State to prepare a Plan for the LNG Precinct, which includes details on the operation and management of the Precinct and the range of activities that are to be provided for and managed. The Western Australian Department of State Development commenced a Master Planning exercise as part of the work to establish the Plan and support negotiations and assessment activities for the establishment of an LNG Precinct in the James Price Point area. In order to establish the user requirements and assist in final site selection and layout considerations various options were prepared by WorleyParsons Services Ltd, with input from industry and other stakeholders which were presented to Traditional Owners at a meeting on 14 August 2009. The Department of State Development established the basic requirements of the Master Plan to allow for: � A total of up to 50 million tonnes per annum of LNG capacity; and � Provide for multiple proponents to build and operate LNG facilities in the Precinct. Land area requirements The basis for the land and sea area considered in the Master Plan has been established to meet the Department of State Developmentís basic requirements and allow for multiple proponents to operate safely. These areas are the same as those identified in the Heads of Agreement between the State, Woodside and the KLC. The Precinct will comprise areas of exclusive and non-exclusive access. The exclusion zone is proposed to contain: � an industrial precinct (fenced) being: o two industrial blocks with each block exclusively accommodating stand-alone facilities for the relevant proponent allocated to the block (total of approximately 1,000ha); and o common user area (service corridors, lay down areas and internal buffer areas, being a total of approximately 500 - 1,000ha); and � land (fenced) and waters of the port (area to be determined but likely to be approximately 1,000ha). The non-exclusion zone (unfenced) is proposed to contain: � workersí accommodation (up to 200ha); � light industrial area (up to 200ha); � access roads; and � a buffer zone around the exclusion zone (approximately 3,000ha). 5279225 8
