QLD: Condamine to Braemar Pipeline

The Condamine to Braemar Pipeline (also known as the Braemar pipeline or the Braemar Linepack Connection) is a transmission pipeline located in south-east Queensland. The pipeline is owned and operated by Alinta Energy.

The pipeline is 150 km in length, and has a diameter of 406.4 mm.

The Condamine to Braemar Pipeline connects Alinta’s Braemar power station to the APA Group’s compressor station at Condamine.

The Condamine to Braemar Pipeline is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under Part 10 of the National Gas Rules (NGR). It was previously subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under the former Part 23 of the NGR, which was replaced by Part 10.

The AER has granted the following exemptions for the Condamine to Braemar Pipeline:

  • On 14 December 2017, a five year Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.
  • On 30 November 2022, a five year Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR. Due to reforms to the NGR, the exemption transitioned to a Category 2 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.

Construction on the pipeline was completed in March 2006.
