The infrastructure sharing arrangements will start in 2020 and continue until 2035, with options to extend to the end of 2049.

Australia Pacific LNG is Queensland’s largest LNG project, and one of the biggest gas suppliers to the domestic market. In 2018, Australia Pacific LNG supplied close to 30 per cent of total east coast gas demand.
