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 />
