An LNG Precinct supporting gas fields in the Browse Basin.
The State of Western Australia has identified an area to develop an onshore, Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) precinct south of James Price Point known as the Browse LNG Precinct to enable the processing of natural gas from Browse Basin gas fields approximately 425km off the west Kimberley coast. Further information on the Kimberley region can be obtained from the Kimberley Development Commission.

The Browse LNG Precinct will accommodate a minimum of two gas processing proponents at one location to enable sharing of common-user facilities such as the port, roads, infrastructure corridors and workers’ accommodation. The Precinct is designed to cater for a maximum LNG production capacity of up to 50 million tonnes per annum.
The Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation (JTSI) is the lead agency responsible for the planning and development of the Browse LNG Precinct.
Once constructed, the port will be administered by the Kimberley Port Authority and DevelopmentWA will administer the Strategic Industrial Area (SIA), which includes a support industrial area and service corridors.
Proponents interested in locating in the Browse LNG Precinct should contact the Department of Jobs, Tourism, Science and Innovation.
The process for land allocation is set out in the Proponent Land Allocation Flowchart
Proponents interested in investing in the Browse LNG Precinct will be required to submit a Proponent Project Proposal to JTSI and DevelopmentWA.
