THIS PROPOSAL BY PHILLIPS PETROLEUM IS THE LARGEST
INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT PROJECT EVER TO BE
UNDERTAKEN IN THE NORTHERN TERRITORY.
THE PROJECT BRINGS WITH IT INVESTMENT OF $1.9 BILLION,
1700 CONSTRUCTION JOBS OVER THREE TO FOUR YEARS, 75
DIRECT PERMANENT JOBS, AND LONG-TERM LOCAL BUSINESS
OPPORTUNITIES AND EXPORT INCOME.
THIS IS IN ADDITION TO THE IMPACT OF THE CONSTRUCTION
AND OPERATION OF OFFSHORE FACILITIES FOR BAYU-UNDAN
IN THE ZONE OF COOPERATION AND DARWINS ROLE IN
SUPPORTING THESE OPERATIONS.
IT INTRODUCES TO THE TERRITORY AN ENTIRELY NEW
INDUSTRY WITH NEW TECHNOLOGY, AND EXCITING
EMPLOYMENT AND CAREER OPPORTUNITIES FOR YOUNG
TERRITORIANS
CONSTRUCTION ACTIVITY FOR THE PROJECT WILL PEAK AT A
TIME WHEN THE CONSTRUCTION OF MAJOR DEFENCE
INFRASTRUCTURE WILL BE WINDING DOWN AND MAJOR NEW
DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS WILL BE REQUIRED.
WITH THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE LNG PLANT, THIS PROJECT
