Pipelines

DPI administers a network of transmission pipelines that convey across the state and from offshore high pressure gases and liquids including hydrocarbons and other substances.

These pipelines are regulated under different legislation depending on their location – onshore or offshore. Additionally, certain types of onshore pipelines are exempt such as those below a minimum pressure, those on particular land or for particular purposes. For information about legislation regarding pipelines, go to the Offshore/Onshore Pipeline Legislation.

Information about gaining approval to construct or operate a pipeline may be found under Permits & Operations Approvals.
