Queensland Hunter Gas Pipeline is a proposal to build an underground natural gas pipeline from Queensland to Newcastle in NSW. The 850 kilometre pipeline will initially transport coal-seam methane gas collected in the south central Queensland gas field.
This program involves constructing a pipeline from Wallumbilla in Queensland to the Hunter region, with associated pipeline laterals and the potential for associated gas-fired power plants near Lydell and Armidale.
