Maitland Natural Gas Lateral is a distribution gas pipeline located in the north west of Western Australia.
The pipeline is owned by EDL LNG ( a subsidiary of Energy developments). The 3.3km pipeline is located in the Maitland Industrial Estate 30-km south-west of Karratha and was constructed in 2006. The Maitland Lateral runs from the northern end of the Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline to the pressure regulating station located within the Maitland Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Facility. The Maitland Lateral pipeline is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under Chapter 6A of the NGL and Part 23 of the NGR. On 2 August 2023, the ERAWA granted a 5 year Category 1, 2 and Category 3 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR for the Maitland Lateral.
