Fracking pipeline
Infrastructure NT has released a map of the proposed route for the 670km Territory Energy Link pipeline corridor. The pipeline will connect fracking wells in the Beetaloo Sub-basin to the Middle Arm petrochemical hub. Many rural residents already impacted by the Amadeus Pipeline (from Tennant Creek to Darwin) are concerned about another pipeline that will benefit the gas industry and not Territorians.
Noonamah Ridge
Rural residents have been sharing their opposition to plans for 4200 new houses at Noonamah Ridge from Intrapac. The Planning Commission hearing was held on Monday 30 at Rydges Palmerston. The developer has reignited their Noonamah Ridge plans for the firth time, this time under a new name - the Lloyd Creek Rural Village. https://planinc.org.au/lloyd-creek/
