support in place from the State and Commonwealth governments to ensure the <strong>Browse</strong><br />
<strong>LNG</strong> <strong>Precinct</strong> proceeds based on the current timeline.<br />
Development at the Kimberley is important for the nation and the State <strong>of</strong> Western<br />
Australia, bringing employment, export contracts, regional development and the<br />
economic empowerment <strong>of</strong> the Kimberley indigenous community.<br />
With respect to the long term project timeline, the construction period for an initial<br />
foundation development (up to 3 trains) is anticipated to take 4 to 5 years with operations<br />
starting for the first <strong>LNG</strong> train likely to occur approximately 1 year before the overall<br />
completion <strong>of</strong> construction. Key timeframes for an initial foundation development are<br />
outlined below:<br />
Project Phases Timeline<br />
Phase I: Commencement <strong>of</strong><br />
construction <strong>of</strong> pioneer facilities,<br />
infrastructure preparations<br />
Phase II: Construction <strong>of</strong> <strong>LNG</strong><br />
<strong>Precinct</strong> facilities for first<br />
proponent (Typical <strong>LNG</strong> project)<br />
Phase III: Operation (Typical <strong>LNG</strong><br />
project)<br />
Phase IV: Decommissioning<br />
(Typical <strong>LNG</strong> project)<br />
Early 2011<br />
Earliest 3-12 months after Phase I<br />
Earliest 4-5 years after commencement <strong>of</strong><br />
Phase II<br />
~30-40+ years after commencement <strong>of</strong><br />
Phase III<br />
Further expansion beyond the initial foundation development will depend on the gas<br />
available and market/commercial forces with respect to timing. Any future construction for<br />
expansion will occur at the same time as operations.<br />

Master Plan ñ The Master Plan is a document being put together by an engineering<br />
company called WorleyParsons for the <strong>Department</strong> <strong>of</strong> State Development. In the Master<br />
Plan, WorleyParsons will set out the layout for the <strong>Browse</strong> <strong>LNG</strong> <strong>Precinct</strong> once the site at<br />

Owners. It will also describe the shared areas in the <strong>Precinct</strong> including:<br />
� The <strong>LNG</strong> processing plant(s);<br />
� The port and marine facilities;<br />
� Light industrial area;<br />
� Workforce accommodation; and<br />
� Regional services upgrade required to support the <strong>Precinct</strong> e.g. roads<br />
