On 23 May 2025, APA Bulloo Interlink Pipeline Pty Ltd (a wholly owned entity of APA Group) applied to the AER for a greenfields incentive determination for its proposed Bulloo Interlink gas pipeline. It provided a revised application on 9 July 2025.
The proposed Bulloo Interlink will be a high-volume gas pipeline approximately 335 km in length. It is proposed to be commissioned in 2028 and will connect APA’s South West Queensland Pipeline to its Moomba to Sydney Pipeline.
As part of its greenfields incentive determination application, APA submits that the Bulloo Interlink is a critical part of APA’s East Coast Gas Grid expansion plan to provide security of supply to southern markets and support Australia’s transition to a low carbon energy system. APA considers a determination will provide the regulatory certainty needed for APA to decide to build the Bulloo Interlink.
If a determination is not made, the Bulloo Interlink will become a non-scheme pipeline upon commissioning (as is normally the case). However, the AER may make a scheme pipeline determination in the future, following a form of regulation review.
