Middle Arm Sustainable Development Precinct
Closing October 2022 this consulation
to quote:
The Department of Infrastructure, Planning and Logistics (DIPL) is seeking environmental approval for a ‘development ready’ industrial precinct on the Middle Arm peninsula. If approved, it may include low emission hydrocarbons, renewable hydrogen, minerals processing, carbon capture and storage and advanced manufacturing. The precinct would cover approximately 1500 hectares of the 2200-hectare Middle Arm peninsula, in an area designated for gas-based, low emissions sustainable industries. Middle Arm is already home to the Santos Darwin LNG Project at Wickham Point, and the INPEX LNG Project at Bladin Point.
Strategic assessments should provide greater upfront certainty for developers while also delivering better environmental outcomes for the significant environmental values at Middle Arm and the broader Darwin Harbour.
The MASDP referral is the first ‘strategic assessment’ in the Northern Territory.
