Key Staff
Queensland Hunter Gas Pipeline is a proposal to build an underground natural gas pipeline from Queensland to Newcastle in NSW. The 850km 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 of NSW, with associated pipeline laterals and the potential for associated gas fired power plants near Lydell and Armidale.
Manidis Roberts is managing the environmental assessment and ultimate delivery of NSW planning approvals. This includes extensive consultation with a range of stakeholders, and engagement and management of specialist sub-consultants.
The opportunity exists for us to drive an integrated approach to delivering the infrastructure. In addition, we aim to take the engagement beyond a straightforward delivery of planning approval into the construction of a piece of critical state infrastructure.
Key achievements include
- Innovative tiered assessment methodology.
- Delivering innovation and cost savings to the project proponent through close working relationships with the design team.
