Amendment C490 - VOPAK Victoria Energy Terminal Inquiry and Advisory Committee

Current Status

Consideration of Panel Report

Date received: 

Draft amendment and associated EES. Application of an SCO and incorporated document for proposed LNG import terminal.

The project proposes building and operating a floating liquefied natural gas (LNG) import terminal in Port Phillip Bay, approximately 20 kilometres offshore and east from Avalon.

The project involves using a vessel known as a Floating Storage Regasification Unit (FSRU) to receive LNG from LNG carriers and converting it into natural gas. The natural gas is then transferred to shore through an underwater and underground pipeline to a gas receiving station (GRS) for processing before it is supplied into the existing Victorian gas transmission system.
