Domestic gas reservation policy

777. Hon Dr Steve Thomasto theLeader of the House representing the Minister for State Development:

I refer to the government's domestic gas policy, which was updated by the McGowan government on 17 August 2020 and again by the Cook government on 15 August 2023 and 19 September 2024.

(1) How many onshore gas projects have applied or sought to take advantage of the 20% export allowance between 2024 and the end of 2030?

(2) How many approvals for the 20% exemption have been granted?

(3) How many onshore projects that are expected to be in production by the end of 2030 received final state government approval in 2024 and 2025?

(4) Based on the current approvals and proposals, how much additional onshore gas production will be available to the domestic gas system each year from 2025–26 to 2020–30? Sorry, that should be 2029–30; the minister probably will not be able to answer that.

(5) Which projects will provide that gas?

The President: Standing order 105. The Leader of the House.
