Guide to the QCLNG environmental impact statement
The environmental impact statement for the Queensland Curtis LNG Project comprises two documents: a draft environmental impact statement and a supplementary environmental impact statement.
The draft presents the results of a rigorous identification and assessment of the physical/biological, social, cultural, economic and built environment impacts of the Queensland Curtis LNG Project. It identifies measures to manage direct, indirect and cumulative impacts and to maximise benefits for Queensland and Australia.
The supplementary environmental impact statement was prepared to respond to public submissions received on the draft environmental impact statement and to inform stakeholders of material changes in project design, impacts and benefits.
The Commonwealth and Queensland Governments will rely on these documents in deciding whether to approve the project.
The draft and supplementary environmental impact statements should be viewed together and are presented in an identical structure, in a series of volumes containing chapters with detailed information about specific activities, impacts or components related to the Project.
Standalone technical reports are included as appendices following the volumes.
The supplementary and draft environmental impact statements are ordered into the following volumes:
| Volume | Detail |

| 1 | EIS Process Overview |
| 2 | Project Description |
| 3 | Assessment of the Environmental Impacts of the Gas Field Component |

A Broad Introduction
An Executive Summary, Volume 1 and Volume 2 provide a broad introduction to the Queensland Curtis LNG Project, offering an overview of the Project’s impacts and how QGC intends to manage impacts and maximise benefits. These sections will allow stakeholders to identify areas of particular interest and guide them towards more detailed, technical information contained in later chapters and appendices.
People interested in impacts and benefits in the Gladstone region from the LNG Component of the Queensland Curtis LNG Project should consult Volumes 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 11.
People interested in impacts and benefits from the Pipeline Component between Gladstone and Dalby should consult Volumes 1, 2, 4, 8 and 10.
People interested in impacts and benefits from the Gas Field Component in the area around Dalby and Chinchilla should consult Volumes 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9.
Volume 12 contains information on the stakeholder engagement process followed by QGC in preparing this EIS while Volume 13 presents a report on actions requiring assessment under the Commonwealth Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999.
