Bowen Basin pipeline study – first stage complete

Both the Queensland Government and Australian Government have each committed to contributing $5 million towards a Bowen Basin pipeline study, with a combined total investment of $10 million which will occur in multiple phases.

The first phase was a concept study of key initiatives that merit further detailed investigation.

The concept study has investigated the potential for infrastructure, including a gas pipeline to connect gas reserves in the Bowen Basin to the east coast domestic market and overseas customers.

The final report for the concept study has now been completed. The report confirms there is a need for securing additional gas to supplement demand, and the North Bowen Basin is a prime candidate if the appropriate infrastructure is put in place.

The Queensland Government is now considering the report and its findings to determine the most appropriate next steps for the Bowen Basin pipeline study.
