Hazard Analysis of the Moomba to Sydney Pipeline

Council has engaged Arriscar to prepare the Moomba to Sydney Ethane (MSE) Pipeline Hazard Analysis. The Report’s purpose is to determine the potential population growth of land adjacent to the MSE pipeline that can be accommodated. Any population growth must satisfy the NSW Department of Planning, Housing and Infrastructure (DPHI) risk criteria as described in the Hazardous Industry Planning Advisory Paper No. 10 - Land Use Safety Planning. 

At its meeting on 24 March 2025, Council resolved:

a) That Council notes the MSE Pipeline Hazard Analysis Report. 

b) That Council prepares a Planning Proposal to amend the Georges River Local Environmental Plan 2021 to include properties within LSIR-5E-07 and LSIR-1E-06 contours to the Activity Hazard Risk Map (LSIR refers to Location Specific Individual Risk).

c) That Council references the MSE Pipeline Hazard Analysis report on all future Section 10.7(5) certificates for properties affected by the LSIR 5E-07 and LSIR 1E-06 contours.

The Planning Proposal is currently being prepared and will be reported to the Environment and Planning Committee in the coming months.
