The Sturt Plateau Pipeline Project
The SPP project is a proposed 37 km underground natural gas pipeline to connect Tamboran Resources’ gas development in the southern Beetaloo Basin to the existing Amadeus Gas Pipeline.
Project Impact
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
We believe gas is essential to accelerate Australia’s transition to renewables and represents the most secure, reliable, affordable and low emissions pathway to decarbonising Australia’s energy system. Investing in our domestic gas resources – like the Beetaloo basin – is key to supporting the energy transition.
The Kinbininggu People, Bamarrngganja People, Warranangku People and Marlinja People are the original custodians of the land and where the SPP project will be located. Our First Nations Engagement Strategy will guide our work with stakeholders such as the Northern Land Council, local Aboriginal communities, and Registered Aboriginal Parties to ensure that Aboriginal people in the project area benefit through employment, training, education, community investment, and compensation agreements.
It is expected that the Sturt Plateau Pipeline project will generate up to 150 jobs during peak construction, with a range of different skills required during the construction phase.
APA maintains co-operative and respectful relationships with landowners across over 15,000 km of gas transmission pipelines across the country. We are committed to building a similarly positive relationship with the single property owner on the proposed Sturt Plateau Pipeline route.
