The projection series represent the projected non-resident populations associated with existing resource operations and future projects in the region. Projects are categorised according to their standing in the approvals pipeline, including stages of In this publication, the Surat Basin region is defined as the environmental impact statement (EIS) process, and the local government areas (LGAs) of Maranoa (R), progress towards achieving financial close.

  • 2014-11-25 QWON Power Stations
    LEGISLATIVE COUNCIL C1379 QUESTION WITHOUT NOTICE (Of which some notice has been given) Tuesday, 25 November 2014 Hon Robin Chapple to the Leader ofthe House representing the Minister for Energy. Please provide a summary of all active power stations in Western Australia, including: age; capacity profile; fuel and/or mine type; number of employees; whether it is on or off the grid; and the closure schedule. I thankthe Hon. Member for some notice of this question. I table the attached document. The Public Utilities Office has relied on the Independent Market Operator for data concerning generators on the SWIS and has reported the maximum sent out capacity offered by these facilities into the Balancing Market, as of 25 November 2014. These figures may differ slightly from the number of capacity credits awarded and from facility nameplate capacity owing to factors including parasitic load and ambient temperature. For NWIS and NIS facilities, various sources have been used as there is no single definitive list of facilities. The nature of mining operations has not been investigated. The Public Utilities Office does not have access to data on the number of employees or on the closure schedule of power stations. The expected plant life of power stations is variable, a function of maintenance regimes and commercial considerations. ATTACHMENT TO QWN C1379 . 'I .

  • Two Towers: a Comparison of the Regulatory Regimes Which Affect New Electricity Transmission Lines and Wind Farms in Queensland
    Complete Citation: Tranter, Mark (2006). Two towers: a comparison of the regulatory regimes which affect new electricity transmission lines and wind farms in Queensland. Environmental and Planning Law Journal, 23 (5). pp.351-364. ISSN 0813-300X. Accessed from USQ ePrints http://eprints.usq.edu.au Two Towers: A comparison of the regulatory regimes which affect new electricity transmission lines and wind farms in Queensland Mark Tranter* Wind farms represent a clean and sustainable method of generation of electricity, while high voltage overhead power transmission towers and lines represent the old fashioned approach to transmission of energy. Both share a common characteristic which is their visual impact on the environment. This article looks at two recent developments on the Darling Downs in South East Queensland, one a 75 turbine windfarm, the other a 90 km 330 kilovolt transmission line. The article looks at the regulatory framework which governs both developments in the local and Commonwealth jurisdictions. It draws more general conclusions about the ability of those affected by those developments to gain a merits review of their objections as well as the unequal regulatory playing field which favours the traditional method of electricity transmission as compared to the greener method of electricity generation. INTRODUCTION This article concerns two electricity related developments on the Eastern Darling Downs near Toowoomba in South Eastern Queensland. One is the proposal by Powerlink, the Queensland government owned transmission entity,1 to build a 90 km, 330KV dual circuit overhead transmission * Senior Lecturer (Law) Faculty of Business and Member, Australian Centre for Sustainable Catchments, University of Southern Queensland, Toowoomba.
