QLD: Gooimbah Pipeline

The Gooimbah Pipeline (also known as the Gooimbah Lateral Pipeline) is a transmission pipeline located in central Queensland. The pipeline is owned by Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG), which is a joint venture between Origin Energy, ConocoPhillips and Sinopec.

The Gooimbah Pipeline is approximately 30 km in length, 300 mm in diameter, and has a capacity of 210 TJ/day.

The Gooimbah 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 Gooimbah Pipeline:

  • On 26 February 2018, a five year Category 1 and Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR.
  • On 30 November 2022, a five year Category 1 and Category 2 exemption under the former Part 23 of the NGR. Due to reforms to the NGR, these exemptions transitioned to a Category 1 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.
