Additional Developments
APA Group has announced a final investment decision for the Bulloo Interlink Pipeline, a major natural‑gas link between Queensland and New South Wales. The project is backed by a five‑year transport and storage agreement with Origin Energy and is scheduled to begin construction early next year, with commercial service expected by winter 2029. The pipeline’s substantial capacity aims to mitigate anticipated supply shortfalls in southeastern Australian markets as northern gas fields decline and demand rises. Origin Energy’s involvement underscores its ongoing role in supporting national energy security and aligns with broader initiatives to secure gas supplies for southern Australian states through the early 2030s.
