The study area is shown on Figure 1.2. The study describes: • The legislative context in relation to existing land use and planning, tenure and relationship to protection of environmentally sensitive area values within the study area. • The existing environment. • The issues and potential impacts on the existing environment. • Avoidance, mitigation and management measures. • Assessment of residual impact. The study concludes the project is compatible with the existing land uses and consistent with the long term policy framework for the area. This is as reflected in Gladstone State Development Area Development Scheme, Gladstone Port Western Basin Master Plan, Curtis Coast Regional Coastal Management Plan, Central Queensland Regional Growth Management Framework, planning schemes, other statutory instruments, legislation, standards, codes and guidelines, to the extent: • The LNG plant, being a new export industry, is a coastally dependent development that requires a safe deep water port for LNG carriers, and proximity to the feed gas supply, which is being sourced from the Surat and Bowen basins. • The LNG plant will co-exist with other planned LNG facilities on Curtis Island. • The major project components will be located within the Gladstone State Development Area Precincts, as declared by the Coordinator-General, for major industrial development. The majority of proposed uses are considered likely to meet the objectives of the Gladstone State Development Area, subject to the approval of the Coordinator-General. However, a number of uses such as heavy industry, commercial premises, crushing plant, extractive industry, liquid fuel depot, and high impact industry and medium industry in some cases will be inconsistent uses with the potential to compromise the future orderly planning of some precincts. This inconsistency can be avoided if these proposed uses are established subject to approval in accordance with the planning intent of the Gladstone State Development Area Development Scheme. • The use of existing available marine terminals and infrastructure, and development of new marine terminals, materials offloading facility, jetties and infrastructure is consistent with the use of existing strategic port land, and the planning intent expressed in the Port Land Use Plan 1999 (Gladstone Port Authority, 1999), the 50 year Strategic Plan (Gladstone Ports Corporation, 2008a), the draft Land Use Plan 2010 (Gladstone Ports Corporation, 2010) and the Port of Gladstone Western Basin Master Plan (Queensland Government, 2010a). Table ES1 summarises the land use and planning impacts and significance prior to taking into consideration the proposed avoidance, mitigation or management measures, and post mitigation measures and environmental offsets.

    Acknowledgements We would like to thank Monica Richter (World Wide Fund for Nature and the Science Based Targets Initiative), Anna Freeman (Clean Energy Council), and Ben Skinner and Rhys Thomas (Australian Energy Council) for kindly reviewing this report. We value the input from these reviewers but note the report’s findings and analysis are those of ClimateWorks Australia. We also thank the organisations listed for reviewing and providing feedback on information about their climate commitments and actions. This report is part of a series focusing on sectors within the Australian economy. Net Zero Momentum Tracker – an initiative of ClimateWorks Australia with the Monash Sustainable Development Institute – demonstrates progress towards net zero emissions in Australia. It brings together and evaluates climate action commitments made by Australian businesses, governments and other organisations across major sectors. Sector reports from the project to date include: property, banking, superannuation, local government, retail, transport, resources and energy. The companies assessed by the Net Zero Momentum Tracker represent 61 per cent of market capitalisation in the ASX200, and are accountable for 61 per cent of national emissions. Achieving net zero emissions prior to 2050 will be a key element of Australia’s obligations under the Paris Agreement on climate (UNFCCC 2015). The goal of the agreement is to limit global temperature rise to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels and to strive for 1.5 degrees. 2 Overall, energy sector commitments are insufficient for Australia to achieve a Paris-aligned SUMMARY transition to net zero. Australia’s energy sector This report finds none of the companies assessed are fully aligned with the Paris climate goals, and must accelerate its pace of most fall well short of these.
