1 Introduction

1.1 About Beach Energy

Lattice Energy Limited (“Lattice”) a related body corporate of Beach Energy Limited (“Beach”) is the

proponent of the Enterprise Project and Enterprise Pipeline Project.

Beach is an ASX-listed, oil and natural gas, exploration and production company headquartered in

Adelaide, South Australia. Founded in 1961, Beach has operated and non-operated, onshore and

offshore, oil and natural gas production from five producing basins across Australia and New Zealand

and is a key supplier to the Australian east coast natural gas market.

In January 2018, Beach acquired permits and operational assets in Victoria through its acquisition of

Lattice Energy Limited (Lattice), a subsidiary of Origin Energy. As Lattice is now a wholly-owned

subsidiary of Beach, all assets outlined in this Pipeline Consultation Plan (PCP) will be operated under

the Lattice name, including all applications for regulatory approvals including the pipeline licence.

However, this plan and all consultation materials and activities will use the Beach Energy name and

branding.

Beach’s existing operations in the Victorian Otway Basin include natural gas production from the

offshore Halladale, Speculant, Geographe and Thylacine gas fields. Beach owns and operates several

natural gas pipelines that supply gas produced in these gas fields to the Beach-operated Otway Gas

Plant, located near Port Campbell. These existing pipelines include the PL250 Otway Gas Pipeline and

the PL006009 Halladale, Black Watch and Speculant Pipeline.

Natural gas processed at the Otway Gas Plant is sold to retailers and used for domestic or commercial

consumption in the eastern states of Australia, as well as South Australia.

As part of its Victorian operations Beach also operates the Bass Gas Plant at Lang Lang, located east of

Melbourne, and the associated PL243 raw gas pipeline and the PL244 sales gas pipeline.

1.2 The Enterprise Project

The Enterprise Project is a program which proposes to recover natural gas from offshore reservoirs in

the Victorian Otway Basin. The potential reservoirs are located offshore, up to 3 nautical miles (5.55

km) from the coastline, while the well site will be located onshore near Port Campbell, Victoria.

In early 2020, Beach proposes to begin drilling the offshore Enterprise-1 exploration well using

Extended Reach Drilling (ERD) technology from an onshore drill pad. The Enterprise-1 exploration well

is located in the Enterprise gas field located in Victorian licence block VIC/P42(v). The VIC/P42(v)

licence block is operated by Beach and is located in Victorian State waters.

Further reservoir diagnostics will be performed following the drilling of the Enterprise-1 exploration

well. Should the Enterprise-1 exploration well be deemed commercial, Beach plans to convert the

exploration well into a production well and start construction on the proposed Enterprise Pipeline.




S4700AN718451

8 of 56

In future and depending on the success of the Enterprise-1 well, a further two exploration wells may be

drilled from the Enterprise-1 well site. Should these additional two wells be deemed commercial, the

recovered natural gas would also be transported to the Otway Gas Plant via the Enterprise Pipeline.

This PCP has been developed for the proposed Enterprise Pipeline and the consultation required as

part of its planning, construction and operation. The Enterprise Pipeline forms part of the broader

Enterprise Project.

For more information on the Enterprise Project, visit https://www.beachenergy.com.au/vic-otway-

basin/ and click on the “Enterprise Information Sheet”. Information on Beach’s Black Watch Project, a

similar project to the proposed Enterprise Project, can be found on the same page in the “Black Watch

Information Sheet”.

1.3 Project Scope

The current concept for the Project is:

• A new 200-300mm diameter production pipeline and accompanying 50-100mm diameter MEG

pipeline, both approximately 12km in length, to be constructed, for the major proportion of its

length, alongside the existing PL250 pipeline within existing easement to transport gas to the

Otway Gas Plant

• New easements to be created from the Enterprise-1 drill site to the existing easement associated

with the PL250 pipeline

• Additional new easements may be required along the existing PL250 easement route where the

current easement is insufficient to allow access to the new pipeline for operational purposes.

Where it is required to ensure the new pipeline can be constructed safely due to other subsurface

infrastructure nearby, temporary work areas during construction will be required.

The current concept for the Project is shown in Figure 1.

1.4 The Enterprise Pipeline

The proposed Enterprise Pipeline is an approximately 12km, 200-300mm diameter buried pipeline that

will run from the onshore Enterprise-1 drill site to the Otway Gas Plant. The Enterprise Pipeline includes

an accompanying 50-100mm diameter MEG pipeline.

The construction and commissioning of the proposed pipeline, including scraper launcher and receiver

barrels at each end, constitute the extent of the Project.

Construction of facilities at the Enterprise well site and tie-in facilities at the Otway Gas Plant are not

included as part of the Project or Pipeline Consultation Plan, and consultation for these activities will

be addressed separately.

1.5 Pipeline route selection

The proposed Enterprise Pipeline will run from the Enterprise-1 drill site to the Otway Gas Plant.

It is proposed that for the majority of its length the Enterprise Pipeline will run alongside the PL250

Otway Gas Pipeline within existing easements, where possible. See Figure 2 for the map of the

proposed pipeline route.

Beach has identified this preferred pipeline route based on several environmental, technical and

stakeholder-focused factors, including:




S4700AN718451

10 of 56

• Existing easements

• Landowner considerations

• Options to minimise environmental and cultural impact

• Project requirements

• Gas flow within existing pipelines

• Geotechnical considerations

• Land tenure for both the construction and operational phases.

The selection process for the final proposed pipeline route will be determined by the consultation

process to be undertaken with stakeholders, landowners and occupiers, and the consideration of all

factors.

It is Beach’s preference to locate the proposed Enterprise Pipeline within the existing PL250 Otway Gas

Pipeline easement. Constructing and operating the pipeline within the existing PL250 Otway Gas

Pipeline easement has benefits including:

• Minimising impacts on land and the environment by using existing easements, thereby reducing

the need to encumber additional land with new easements

• Minimising any additional operational impact on farming operations for existing landowners and

occupiers

• The existing easement has already been scouted and assessed for previous pipeline construction,

thus minimising the impact on areas of commercial, environmental or cultural value.

Several options for a pipeline route that could use existing infrastructure in the Project area were

considered, including connection into either the PL250 Otway Gas Pipeline or PL006009 Halladale,

Black Watch and Speculant Pipeline. However, these options were determined unsuitable in meeting

technical and Project requirements.

Beach will continue to monitor other options which may become available, including using existing

pipelines operated by other oil and gas companies which may become available within the proposed

Project timeframe.

To facilitate the construction of the proposed pipeline, some temporary work space, in addition to

easement, may be required. Agreements regarding the use of these areas will be negotiated with

landowners and occupiers in advance of any activities being undertaken on the property following

approval of this PCP.

1.6 Project considerations

There are several environmental, social and commercial considerations associated with the Project,

including:

• Impact to directly affected stakeholders: Open and transparent consultation will be undertaken

with all directly affected stakeholders, landowners and occupiers. Where possible, feedback from

any individual or group will be incorporated into the design and planning of the Project

• Impact to land use: Construction methodology will be selected to minimise land disturbance.

• Local employment and economic spend: Construction of the pipeline will provide opportunity

for local employment, including the engagement of subcontractors. During planning and

construction there will be a requirement for local accommodation, meals, supplies and other

expenditure by the Project team within Port Campbell and the south west Victorian region.

Continued supply of gas to the Otway Gas Plant will ensure the viability of the plant as a source of

local jobs into the future.

• Energy supply and demand: The Project will help meet and balance the increasing demand for

supply of natural gas in the Australian east coast gas market.




S4700AN718451

12 of 56

• Impact to community: Beach will actively seek feedback from community members and will

incorporate this feedback into the Project planning and design.

• Impact to environmental, cultural and heritage values: Using an existing easement for the

majority of the pipeline route will minimise, and in many cases avoid, any impacts to areas with

environmental, cultural or heritage considerations.

1.7 Project timeline

An overview of the proposed Project activities and timing is provided in Figure 3. The exact timeline

would depend on the duration, timing and scope associated with regulatory approvals, third party

agreements, construction techniques, and Project execution.

It is intended that the consultation process for the proposed Enterprise Pipeline commence in late

2019. If approval is received from the regulator, the earliest Beach would commence pipeline

construction would be in late 2020, dependent on internal technical and financial approvals, fair

weather conditions and the availability of contractors.

A detailed schedule of planned consultation in accordance with legislation requirements is found in

Section 5 of this document.

2 Purpose of this plan

As a pre-license condition, the Pipelines Act 2005 (Vic) (the Pipelines Act) specifies the requirement for

a Minister-approved Pipeline Consultation Plan (PCP) prior to Beach commencing activities compatible

with the Pipelines Act, such as serving Notice of intention to enter land for survey and Notice of

Pipeline Corridor.

Section 17 of the Pipelines Act outlines the requirements for a PCP. A checklist of these requirements

against the contents of this PCP is provided in Appendix A.

The purpose of this PCP is to demonstrate how Beach will consult with stakeholders, landowners and

occupiers about the proposed pipeline. The PCP should also demonstrate how Beach will meet the

consultation requirements laid out in the legislation.

This PCP also reflects industry consultation and engagement best practice, and is based on the

following documents:

• Australian Pipelines and Gas Association Guidelines for Stakeholder Engagement (2015)

• Australian Pipelines and Gas Association Code of Environmental Practice (2017)

• International Association for Public Participation Spectrum of Public Participation (2014)

• Former Australian Pipeline Industry Association – Victorian Farmers Federation Pipeline Easement

Guidelines (2009)

• Former Department of Primary Industry (now Department of Environment, Land, Water and

Planning (DELWP)) Guidelines for the Preparation of Pipeline Consultation Plans - Pipelines Act

2005.

3 Consultation approach

3.1 Consultation principles

Beach’s Community Engagement Principles aim to build trust which leads to acceptance, and

ultimately respect from communities. These Community Engagement Principles underpin the

consultation approach, values and activities described within this PCP.

Beach’s Community Engagement Principles are demonstrated in Figure 4.

Figure 4: Beach Energy Community Engagement Principles

3.2 Consultation principles

Beach recognises that regular dialogue and engagement with stakeholders, landowners and occupiers

is essential to project success and maintaining its social licence to operate. Stakeholder engagement

on the Project will therefore be undertaken in line with the following principles of effective

consultation:

1. Communication – providing clear, effective and timely communication

2. Transparency – acting in a transparent manner with simple two-way communication, effective

reporting

3. Collaboration – enabling clear opportunities for collaboration with stakeholders, landowners,

occupiers

4. Inclusiveness – identifying opportunities to include stakeholder feedback in the planning process

5. Integrity – undertaking consultation with integrity and honesty at all times.

3.3 Consultation objectives

The consultation objectives of the Project are to:

• Identify the stakeholders, sequence of consultation, regulatory requirements, method and timing

of consultation for the Project;




S4700AN718451

16 of 56

• Establish the means for open and transparent consultation between Beach and stakeholders

throughout the Project and ensure that accurate, clear and easy to read materials are provided;

• Ensure that Project information is distributed in a timely manner to allow stakeholders sufficient

time to assess the information provided and to provide feedback on any concerns they may have;

• Outline Beach’s responsibilities for community consultation and engagement;

• Facilitate landowner and occupier involvement in the decision-making process so as to allow

mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties;

• Establish and maintain regular and ongoing communication with all stakeholders to ensure issues

are captured and managed early;

• Demonstrate compliance with all regulatory

requirements for community and stakeholder

consultation;

• Plan and act in accordance with Beach’s

Community Engagement Principles; and

• Plan and act in accordance with Beach’s values:

◦ Safety

Beach acknowledges that the consultation objectives of the Project will evolve over the course of the

Project. As stakeholder concerns or issues are better understood throughout the execution of the

Project the objectives and associated consultation activities will adjust as necessary.

3.4 Leadership commitment

Corporate leadership commitment by Beach to this PCP and the consultation objectives of the Project

is essential to ensure adequate time and resources and avoid the risk of a ‘tick-the-box’ approach.

Leadership commitment to this PCP has been gained by:

• Participation by community team members in early Project planning

Meaningful

relationships

Open respectful

dialogue

Mutually benficial

outcomes




S4700AN718451

4 Consultation Methods

4.1 Consultation with landowners and occupiers

Beach proposes to conduct all consultation with landowners and occupiers in a clear and concise

manner using plain English and minimising technical terms where possible.

The landowners and occupiers impacted by the proposed Enterprise Pipeline route all have existing

pipelines on their land, in some cases these are pipelines operated by other proponents. As a result,

they represent a knowledgeable stakeholder group with experience in managing pipeline construction

and operations on their property. Beach will take this into consideration when consulting with

landowners and occupiers to balance easy to understand information with an informed and

knowledgeable audience.

Beach proposes to use the following methods to consult with landowners and occupiers on the

proposed pipeline:

• Face-to-face discussions and meetings

• Letters, phone calls and email

• Information sheets, images and diagrams

• Webpage

• Public display of regulatory documentation

• Assigning a nominated Beach contact for each landowner and occupier

• Provide access to this PCP to each affected landowner and occupier, either via a link to a web

page, or where requested by the landowner and occupier, a printed copy.

Beach is committed to conducting face-to-face consultation as much possible with landowners and

occupiers to encourage active feedback. Beach will also maintain a single point of contact for each

landowner and occupier throughout the consultation process.

Initial consultation and introduction of the Project will be undertaken by Beach’s Community Relations

Manager (Victoria) and the Community Manager, supported by local Land Liaison Officers. Land

Liaison Officers will oversee property-specific requirements and liaise with the construction contractor

on the resolution of any issues.

To protect the rights of both parties involved in the consultation process, records of all contact

between Beach and landowners and occupiers during the Project are maintained by Beach, subject to

Information Privacy requirements. Any information exchanged with the landowner and occupiers is

managed in accordance with Beach’s Privacy Policy (as per https://www.beachenergy.com.au/privacy-

policy/).

https://www.beachenergy.com.au/privacy-policy/





S4700AN718451

19 of 56

The preferred method of communication and receiving information from Beach will be agreed with

each landowner. All documents required under the Pipelines Act will be provided in hard copy to

landowners and occupiers (e.g. Notice of intention to enter land for survey, Notice of Pipeline Corridor,

etc.) unless a landowner has advised otherwise.

4.1.1 Face-to-face consultation

Face-to-face consultation is essential to ensure planning and construction processes are understood

and that concerns raised by landowners and occupiers are understood by Beach. These meetings will

help build relationships between landowners, occupiers and Beach and will assist in a two-way flow of

information.

4.1.2 Letters

Letters will be used to outline introductory project information and provide key milestone updates

throughout the life of the Project.

Letters will be tracked via mail to ensure landowners and occupiers have received the relevant

information in a timely manner.

4.1.3 Webpage

A webpage has been established to provide up-to-date Project information. The webpage is available

at: https://www.beachenergy.com.au/enterprise-pipeline-consultation/

The webpage contains:

• Information on Beach and the proposed Project

• The regulatory approvals process

• The benefits of the Project

• Any information sheets or new information as it is developed

• Details of publicly available notices and information sessions.

In addition, the webpage will:

• Allow documents produced for public display to be downloaded, including a copy of this PCP if

and when it is approved by the regulator

• Provide methods for contacting Beach in order to provide feedback or register a complaint.

4.1.4 Phone and email

Landowners and occupiers may wish to contact the Project team by phone or email in addition to

meetings, letters and obtaining information from the website. A toll-free phone number and email will

be provided to all landowners and occupiers.

https://www.beachenergy.com.au/enterprise-pipeline-consultation/




S4700AN718451

20 of 56

• Project phone line: 1800 797 011

• Project email: [email protected]

The phone line allows landowners and occupiers to immediately contact Beach representatives 24

hours a day, particularly in relation to urgent landowner issues or emergency situations should they

arise. All consultation via these channels will be recorded in the Enterprise Pipeline Project Stakeholder

Engagement Log.

4.1.5 Public Display of Regulatory Documentation

Relevant documents will be placed on public exhibition where required by the statutory process or as

directed by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).

7 Stakeholders

This PCP acknowledges that consultation with relevant stakeholders, landowners and occupiers

relevant to the Enterprise Project commenced in August 2018 and is ongoing.

Separate landowner and occupier consultation for the Enterprise Pipeline will be undertaken in

advance of any pipeline planning, regulatory approval and construction. There is an overlap of

stakeholders involved in the proposed drilling program and pipeline construction and as such

information on the broader project, pipeline construction and Beach’s other operational activities in

the region will be shared with stakeholders as appropriate.

7.1 Stakeholder assessment

The overarching Enterprise Project stakeholder database includes a comprehensive list of parties who

have already been identified as impacted, involved, interested or to be informed as part of the Project.

This stakeholder database was reviewed for currency in the preparation of this PCP and has been

updated to include potential landowners and occupiers relevant to the proposed Enterprise Pipeline

and the current preferred pipeline route.

Additional desktop research has also been carried out to identify further stakeholders.

7.2 Stakeholder identification

7.2.1 Private landowners and occupiers

Preliminary project investigations have indicated that there are approximately 11 landowners of 17

freehold parcels of land that will be impacted by the proposed pipeline route. The initial consultation

phase will include identifying up to date information on the current occupiers of the freehold parcels.

The majority of these freehold properties consist of farming operations for grazing, plus some

cropping. The current use of each parcel of land will be discussed with the landowner and occupier as

part of Beach’s initial consultation to identify the impacts of the proposed pipeline construction.

While Beach has existing information on land ownership, updated title searches will be undertaken just

prior to the commencement of consultation to identify any recent changes to property ownership.

7.2.2 Public landowners and occupiers

The proposed pipeline route will traverse land parcels that are owned and managed by government

authorities. These authorities include: Corangamite Shire Council, DELWP, Parks Victoria, VicRoads –

Regional Roads Victoria and Wannon Water.

7.2.3 Crown Land

Beach will undertake further assessment of the proposed pipeline route and should Crown Land be

identified Beach will seek the consent from the appropriate authority, department and Crown Land

Minister for all or access and tenure agreements.




S4700AN718451

28 of 56

7.2.4 Aboriginal groups

The Eastern Maar Aboriginal Corporation (EMAC) are the registered native title claimant for the

country on which the proposed pipeline is to be constructed. EMAC are party to an Indigenous Land

Use Agreement with Beach, which was entered into at the time of the development of the Otway Gas

Plant and the construction of the PL250 Otway Gas Pipeline.

Beach will undertake consultation with EMAC to inform them of the proposed Enterprise Pipeline and

to engage their services for cultural heritage scouting activities during pipeline construction. Beach will

work with EMAC to ensure effective management of any cultural and environmental impacts.

7.2.5 Near Neighbours

These stakeholder group identified as ‘near neighbours’ may experience impacts due to traffic, dust

and noise from construction of the proposed pipeline.

Consultation with these stakeholders will be undertaken closer to the time of proposed construction

when traffic routes, working hours and other relevant Project parameters have been identified. These

stakeholders will also be provided with contact details of Beach representatives and offered face-to-

face meetings to ensure they are fully informed about the Project and have an opportunity to raise any

concerns.

7.2.6 Otway Gas Plant Community Reference Group (CRG)

Beach has been consulting with the CRG over the Enterprise project since late 2018 and will include

updates on the proposed pipeline in due course. The CRG has been in operation since the Otway Gas

Plant and PL250 were constructed in 2007 and provide a valuable consultation mechanism for Beach.

The community representatives on the CRG are mostly pipeline landowners and their feedback on

Beach’s proposed Enterprise Pipeline will be most welcomed.

7.2.7 Corangamite Shire Council

Corangamite Shire Council is the local government authority in which the proposed Project and

pipeline will be constructed. As such Corangamite Shire’s assessment of the issues that are most

important to the community will be actively sought and their feedback incorporated into Project

planning.

Moyne Shire Council has jurisdiction immediately adjacent to the proposed pipeline route and will also

be consulted throughout the life of the Project.

7.2.8 Elected officials

Local political representatives may also have an interest in the proposed Project and pipeline. These

representatives include:

• Member for the Federal Division of Wannon, Dan Tehan MP

• Member for the State electorate of Polwarth, Richard Riordan MP.




S4700AN718451

10 Collection of Stakeholder Information and Records Management

In order to accurately collect and store consultation on the proposed Project, Beach will use its existing

system for recording and managing stakeholder information.

The system is a central repository for important and confidential stakeholder, landowner and occupier

information such as correspondence, agreements, records of contact, feedback, complaints and claims

records and resolutions, incident records, meeting notes and monthly Project consultation reports.

A dedicated Enterprise Pipeline Project Stakeholder Engagement Log will also be used to track all

specific Project stakeholder, landowner and occupier consultation, including: text messages; phone

calls; emails; written correspondence; meetings; and feedback in public forums. The log is a ‘live’

document that shall be updated as consultation activities are undertaken as part of the proposed

Project.

The Enterprise Pipeline Project Stakeholder Engagement Log will be used to prepare the required

“Consultation Report” outlined in Section 10.3 Statutory Reporting.

All consultation records and entries will be secured by login username and passwords given only to

relevant Project team members who require access. Beach will maintain this system and system

maintenance and back-ups will be undertaken in accordance with IT requirements.

10.1 Record keeping

10.1.1 Privacy and Use of Confidential Information

Beach’s privacy policy (as per https://www.beachenergy.com.au/privacy-policy/) shall be followed

during all consultation and correspondence management.

10.1.2 Internal Records Management

All feedback, complaints and claims must be recorded in a permanent register of Community Feedback

and Complaints by a Community Team member.

All Complaints must also be recorded as an incident in Beach’s Incident Management System.

However, personal details must only be recorded where these details are restricted to the Corporate

Affairs and Community team members, in order to protect the privacy of community members.

All telephone and in-person meetings with complainants must be:

• Recorded in the Enterprise Pipeline Project Stakeholder Engagement Log

• Summarised with accurate meeting notes filed on the Community Team server.

10.2 Response to Stakeholders

10.2.1 Responding to concerns issues or claims

Any objections, concerns or claims that may be raised during the life of the proposed Project shall be:





S4700AN718451

37 of 56

• Captured in the Enterprise Pipeline Project Stakeholder Engagement Log

• Raised with the relevant Project Team member responsible for reviewing, assessing, researching

the matter as applicable and preparing a response with genuine consideration of relevant

regulations

• Complex matters that cannot be resolved or replied to within 7 business days, shall be added to

the Project Complaints Tracking System until a response to the stakeholder is issued,

acknowledged and the matter closed.

Prior to construction, any objections, issues, concerns or claims will be acknowledged within 24 hours

and responded to within 5 business days.

During the construction phase of the proposed Project, matters raised will generally be of a more

time-critical nature. Acknowledgement will be made within 4 hours with responses including a

resolution timeframe aimed to be provided within 24 hours, unless agreement has been reached with

the stakeholder that a longer period is appropriate.

10.3 Statutory reporting

Beach will produce monthly reports to DELWP that contain the previous month's consultations with

external stakeholders, including particular references to any complaints or grievances.

Reporting will be undertaken from initial consultation with stakeholders, landowners and occupiers

through to completion of the regulatory approval process, providing consent of the Construction

Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and safety management plans and subject to a pipeline

licence being issued. From then, reporting will be in accordance with the CEMP or other management

documents.

This reporting of consultation activities will be based on a calendar month and provided to DELWP

within five (5) business days of the end of the reporting period (being the end of the month). The

report template is provided at Appendix F.

10.4 Media enquiries

All media enquiries related to the proposed Project will be directed to Beach’s Corporate Affairs group

responsible for handling media enquiries.




S4700AN718451

38 of 56

11 Compulsory Acquisition of Land

11.1 Pipelines Act

The Pipelines Act and the Pipeline Regulations outline a process to guarantee fair and equitable

treatment of landowners leading to the negotiation of easement rights. Beach is dedicated to

providing fair and equitable compensation to impacted landowners for the negotiation of easements

and additional temporary workspace arrangements. Compensation will be negotiated in line with the

Pipelines Act.

The proposed route for the Enterprise Pipeline requires only a small number of new easements to be

created as the route has been selected to utilise the existing easements for the PL250 pipeline.

Where negotiations with a landowner/occupier regarding the Options for Creation of Easement has

been unsuccessful, under the Pipelines Act, Beach is permitted to apply to the Minister responsible for

the Pipelines Act for approval to compulsory acquire the easement area after six months from the

service of the Pipeline Corridor Notice. This will only occur if negotiation has been unsuccessful and

Beach must be able to clearly demonstrate compliance with the required steps and measures for this

process.

11.2 Land Acquisition and Compensation Act

If a process for compulsory acquisition of land is required throughout landowner and occupier

negotiations, Beach must adhere to the relevant sections of the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act

1986 (Vic) (LACA) and the Land Acquisition and Compensation Regulations 2010. This process is only

established if Beach is successfully granted Ministerial consent pursuant to the Pipelines Act, of an

application for Consent to Compulsorily Acquire an Easement Over Private Land. A Notice of

Application, provided to all interested parties will contain a statement of rights and obligations, which

will include the interested party’s right to make a written submission to the Minister by a specified

date, determined by the Minister. Beach will also promptly provide the Registrar of Titles with the

prescribed Notice of Application, which the Registrar will record.

The outcome of the application for compulsory acquisition will be decided by the Minister within 28

days of the submission date. If the Minister grants the application, a Notice of Acquisition outlining the

acquisition will be published in the Government Gazette, as well as provided to all interested parties

and published in a local newspaper relevant to the era of acquisition.

Once the notice is gazetted, Beach has 14 days to make a fair and equitable compensation offer

payable to the landowner/occupier. The interested parties then have a three-month period to respond

to the offer and may lodge a counter claim for compensation with Beach within this period. Beach will

consider the counter claim and must respond within three months of receiving the claim. If a

settlement over the level of compensation payable cannot be reached, either Beach or the

landowner/occupier may refer the matter to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for

amounts less than $50,000 or may seek a court hearing for disputes greater than $50,000.

Attempt to negotiate the terms of access must be undertaken by Beach, and a minimum seven days’

notice must be given before entry into tenure of the land. In the case where the land is the primary




S4700AN718451

39 of 56

place of residence or business of the landholder, Beach must allow three months from the date of

acquisition to take tenure of the land, unless an agreement is reached with the landholder(s) for access

and tenure of the land.




S4700AN718451

12 Overview of Pipeline Construction Process

12.1 Initial survey

The initial survey offers a consolidated suite of information that is used to refine the design of the

pipeline through a Safety Management Study (SMS) which is undertaken to assess the threats that

land usage, nearby infrastructure and topography represents to the pipeline. The safety of the public

and all personnel is paramount to the operating goals of the pipeline, along with minimising

environmental and property impacts. The SMS ensures that all threats are understood and controls to

mitigate them are as effective as possible.

Geotechnical investigations will also occur along the pipeline route at significant junctions such as

road or creek crossings, where methods such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD) may be required

to install the pipeline using minimal excavation.

Affected landowners and occupiers will be notified in advance of any survey activities including timing,

location and access requirements, and their views sought on local conditions relevant to pipeline

installation. Access protocols concerning biosecurity management, physical access requirements, hours

of operation and so on, will be documented.

12.2 Setting up Work Areas

Prior to construction, crews are required to prepare work areas and machinery such as pipe laydown

yards, construction material stockpiles, and areas for trenchless construction and HDD (where

applicable).

Additional temporary work areas and access points will be discussed and clearly defined with the

relevant landowners and occupiers, including changes to fences or gates and negotiated

compensation, prior to any activities being undertaken on the property. Wash down stations to stop

transfer of undesirable biological materials will be strategically located within the transport routes.

12.3 Clear and grade

Clear and grade involves preparing the pipeline easement for the pipeline and to allow construction

activities to commence. This includes any additional temporary work areas as agreed with landowners

and occupiers. The combined easement and additional work area is commonly referred to as the

construction right-of-way (ROW).

Any vegetation and topsoil is removed from the construction ROW and stockpiled separately to avoid

soil inversion and assist in rehabilitation works after the pipeline is completed. To minimise impact to

the surrounding environment, construction crews may only remove trees and vegetation only in

accordance with the receipt of appropriate permits.

Equipment that may be used during the clear and grade process can include graders, excavators and

bulldozers to clear and prepare the easement ready for construction activities to commence.




S4700AN718451

41 of 56

12.4 Typical set-up within the construction ROW

The construction ROW includes the official easement and temporary additional work areas.

The construction ROW is clearly defined and fenced off if required. The common width of the

construction ROW is usually between 20 – 30m. Landowners and occupiers will be consulted over

elements including clear and grade timing, arrangements for fencing, dust and noise management and

biosecurity. Landowners and occupiers will have the opportunity to ensure actions agreed as part of

the Property Management Plan negotiations are satisfactorily managed.

Figure 5 demonstrates the typical pipeline ROW.

Figure 5: Typical pipeline ROW

12.5 Trenching

Following preparation of the construction ROW, construction crews will commence trenching for the

pipeline. Typically, specialised trenching machines or excavators are used to dig the trenches. Final

trenching techniques are to be determined in conjunction with the chosen construction contractor.

As with the clear and grade phase, soil removed from the trench will be stockpiled throughout the

duration of the construction process. Issues such as hours of operation and dust and noise

management will be discussed with the landowners and occupiers.

12.6 Trenchless construction

Trenchless construction is used when standard trenching techniques cannot be used, such as rivers

crossing, or some public roads.

Techniques such as HDD are used to install pipelines with minimal excavation. Specialist operators drill

a hole beneath the surface, at a shallow angle, and then pull a welded length of pipe through the hole




S4700AN718451

without disturbing the surface. These operations are highly engineered and are used to eliminate

disturbances to infrastructure, environmentally sensitive areas, and to address construction issues.

Trenchless methods have been used consistently in pipeline construction for many years.

12.7 Welding

Pipe sections are joined together by a specialised welding crew. Welds are then testing using non-

destructive testing (NDT) techniques to ensure weld integrity and then coated to protect against

corrosion. Throughout the welding process, fire regulations and restrictions are followed at all times.

12.8 Sand Padding and Lowering In

After final assessment of the pipeline weld and coating quality, the trench is padded with sand and the

pipe is lowered into the trench using the specialised side boom trucks. Side boom operators

coordinate to move slowly and in unison to lower the pipe.

12.9 Backfill

Soil previously removed from the trench is compacted back into the trench to cover the pipeline. In

rocky terrain, further sand padding is used to protect the pipeline. Subsoil is screened and backfilled

before topsoil and care is taken to keep them separated to ensure that pasture or other groundcover

can be rehabilitated.

12.10 Easement Rehabilitation

As stated in Section 145 of the Pipelines Act, Beach is required to rehabilitate landowner and occupier

property as soon as practicable following pipeline construction to enable it to be used as far as

practicable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the construction of that part of

the pipeline, or, with the prior approval of the Minister, for any other purpose agreed between Beach

and the landowner/occupier.

Following rehabilitation, the landowner and occupier are requested to acknowledge that rehabilitation

of the land has been completed to an acceptable standard and has met the above requirements.

12.11 Hydrostatic testing

The pipeline will be hydrostatically tested upon verification of construction completeness to ensure its

mechanical integrity. Hydrotesting involves filling the pipeline with water and pressurising and

sustaining pressure for a period of time, testing it for strength and leak tightness. The exact sequence

of the pipeline hydro testing is dependent on the construction sequence.

Sources and the disposal of water used for hydro testing will be determined during the detailed design

phase of the Project and documented in the Construction Environment Management Plan. They will

also be determined in consultation with local councils, relevant water authorities, the Environmental

Protection Agency, landowners and occupiers.




S4700AN718451

43 of 56

Once the installed pipelines have successfully passed the hydrostatic pressure test, a process of

dewatering and drying will be conducted prior to the final tie-ins of the completed system. Following a

sequence of engineering and safety checks, gas will be introduced to pressurise the system.

12.12 Eventual decommissioning of this proposed pipeline

A licenced pipeline must be decommissioned in accordance with AS 2885, referring to the APGA

Environmental Code of Practice, specifically Section 9 and the approved decommissioning plan.

The Pipelines Act requires this decommissioning plan to be approved by the regulatory authority. An

environmental risk assessment process that identifies any potential effect on the environment and

other uses and users of the easement should support decommissioning preparation.

If the decommissioned pipeline is left in place, appropriate measures will be taken to prevent

contamination of soil or groundwater and to avoid land subsidence impacts.

13 Management of potential impacts

Beach is committed to working with landowners and occupiers throughout the construction and

operation of the proposed pipeline so to ensure impacts are minimised and, where possible, avoided.

The potential impacts of the proposed pipeline to landowner and occupier property during

construction will be managed via data collected from initial surveys and the development of Property

Management Plans (PMP).

Beach will involve all affected landowners and occupiers in the development of their respective PMP to

ensure that concerns and issues are directly reflected in the alternatives developed and to provide

feedback on how landowners and occupiers' input influenced the pipeline construction on their

property.

Potential impacts to health, safety and the environment will be managed within Beach’s corporate and

Project HSE policies via a number of management plans to be developed and applied during each

phase of the Project and prepared to the satisfaction of the relevant regulatory agencies.

Subcontractors will be made aware of their commitment and responsibility to comply with quality

management and HSE requirements.

Key management plans that will be developed for the proposed pipeline are provided in Section 13.1

and 13.2.

13.1 Pipeline construction

During construction, Beach intends to collaborate with landowners and occupiers on ways to mitigate

any construction or operational impacts on the land. Feedback from these discussions will be fed into

Project management plans.

13.1.1 Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP)

A Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) will be prepared by the pipeline contractor to

ensure that the construction of the pipelines meets all relevant environmental obligations. It is the key

document for managing potential environmental risks associated with the construction of the pipeline.

13.1.2 Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP)

The pipeline will be designed, constructed and operated in accordance with the Australian Standard

for gas pipelines AS2885. AS2885 outlines the compulsory minimum requirements that the pipeline

must meet.

The Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP) will be developed to meet the relevant polices and

AS2885 requirements. The construction contractor is required to implement the systems and

procedures outlined in the CSMP, including incident reporting, hazard alert protocols, hazard analysis

processes and safety meetings.




S4700AN718451

45 of 56

13.1.3 Cultural Heritage Management

Beach will work closely with Aboriginal Victoria and EMAC to ensure pipeline activity does not impact

cultural heritage and is in compliance with the Aboriginal Heritage Act, 2006 (Vic).

13.1.4 HDD Management Plan

The HDD Management Plan will be developed to define the management system, procedures, workers

and equipment required for safe and reliable HDD crossings. These operations are highly engineered

and are used when standard trenching techniques are not suited to certain conditions, such as

crossing under rivers or some public roads.

13.2 Pipeline operation

13.2.1 Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Ongoing activities that support the operation of the pipeline will be evaluated through development

of an Environment Management Plan (EMP), which identifies the risk to the environment arising from

the operation of the pipeline and specifies measures to manage those risks as detailed in the Part 7 of

the Pipelines Regulations.

13.2.2 Safety Management Plan (SMP)

The Operations Safety Management Plan will be developed to deliver an integrated safety

management approach in line with Beach’s existing safety management procedures and practices for

pipeline operations as per Part 9 of the Pipelines Act.

13.2.3 Pipeline Stakeholder Engagement Plan (PSEP)

In preparation for the operational phase of the Enterprise Pipeline, Beach’s internal Pipeline

Stakeholder Engagement Plan (PSEP) (Victoria) (CDN/ID 9139256) will be reviewed and updated to

include details of the Enterprise Pipeline, and incorporate any relevant obligations from the OEMP and

OSMP. This document outlines Beach’s approach and obligations with regard to stakeholder

consultation for its operational pipelines.

13.2.4 Property Land Books

As the pipeline becomes operational, Beach will meet with individual landowners and occupiers and

collect (or update existing) information regarding access to the pipeline for operations and

maintenance as well as any property specific requirements. This information is collected in a ‘Land

Book’ for each pipeline.

Enterprise Pipeline Project Update | October 2019 | Rev 0 1 of 12

Enterprise Pipeline ProjectProject update | October 2019

Project overview The Enterprise Project is a program to develop additional offshore natural gas reservoirs in the Victorian Otway Basin. The potential reservoirs are located offshore, up to 3 nautical miles (5.55 km) from the coastline, while the well site will be located onshore near Port Campbell (see map overleaf). If Beach determines that the exploration well is commercially viable, a pipeline will be constructed to flow the raw gas for processing at the nearby Otway Gas Plant (OGP), for supply to the Australian domestic gas market. Timings for pipeline construction approvals require us to commence consultations early, before we have fully assessed commercial viability of the first Enterprise well. beachenergy.com.au

Beach Energy is an ASX listed oil and gas, exploration and production company headquartered in Adelaide. It has operated and non-operated, onshore and offshore, oil and gas production from five production basins across Australia and New Zealand and is a key supplier to the Australian east coast gas market.

In January 2018, Beach acquired permits and operational assets in Victoria through its acquisition of Lattice Energy Limited. As Lattice is a wholly owned subsidiary of Beach Energy, all assets on the project will be operated under the Lattice name, including all applications for regulatory approvals, such as the Pipeline License. Information sheets and other associated consultation materials and activities use the Beach Energy name and branding.

About Beach


Pipeline information Initially, a single exploration well called Enterprise-1 will be constructed using ‘extended reach drilling’ (ERD) accessed from the Enterprise drill site to the offshore licence block VIC/P42 (v) in Victorian State waters. For more information please visit www.beachenergy.com.au/vic-otway-basin/

If the exploration well proves successful, construction will commence on a new high strength steel pipeline approximately 12km long, and 200-300mm in diameter. Buried at a minimum depth of 750mm, and 1200mm at road crossings, the pipeline will flow the raw natural gas from the Enterprise Well site to the Otway Gas Plant. Alongside the gas pipeline, a 50mm-100mm diameter mono-ethylene Glycol (MEG) line will be used to circulate MEG which acts as an anti-freeze, and to prevent corrosion of the pipeline. The pipeline trench will also carry a fibre optic cable to connect the well site monitoring systems to the control room at the OGP, to

enable 24/7 monitoring of the well site. It is proposed that the new Enterprise pipeline will be constructed alongside the existing Otway Raw Gas Pipeline (PL250) for the majority of its length. Several alternative pipeline connections were investigated but would have a negative effect on the production of existing wells.

The proposed pipeline, MEG line and fibre optic cable will be installed in the same trench, as highlighted in the diagram below. To safely construct the pipeline, additional temporary work space, in addition to easement, will be required. Agreements regarding the use of these areas will be negotiated with the relevant landowners and occupiers. A transparent and respectful consultation process will be undertaken to engage with landowners and occupiers who will be affected by the planning, construction and ongoing inspections to ensure the safe operation of the Enterprise pipeline.

Linda French – Community Relations Manager Victoria


Pipeline Route & LocationThe current proposed pipeline route runs from the onshore Enterprise well site near Port Campbell, joining into existing easements housing Beach’s PL250 Otway pipeline, and connects to the existing gas processing facility, Otway Gas Plant. Where new easements are required Beach will consult with the relevant landowners, in addition to existing easement landowners.

Beach has been assessing and will continue to assess alternative pipeline routes, however the route described

above is the preferred option at this time. The selection process for the final pipeline route will include the outcomes of the consultation process and will consider many factors, including project requirements, existing easements, landowner considerations, options to minimise environmental and cultural impact, geotechnical considerations and land tenure for both the construction and operational phases. The proposed corridor is shown below.

Traditional CustodiansBeach would like to respectfully acknowledge the Eastern Maar Peoples, the Traditional Custodians of the land on which the Enterprise Pipeline Project will be located. Beach respects their historical and ongoing connection to country through cultural and spiritual sites, language and ceremony, and would like to pay our respect to their Elders past, present and emerging.

“Eastern Maar” is a name adopted by the people who identify as Maar, Eastern Gunditjmara, Tjap Wurrung, Peek Whurrong, Kirrae Whurrung, Kuurn Kopan Noot and/or Yarro waetch (Tooram Tribe) amongst others.


Project timingsConstruction for the Enterprise Pipeline will not commence before late 2020, following extensive landholder, occupier and community consultation and after approval has been received for the project’s Pipeline Consultation Plan (PCP) by the relevant regulatory authority. Project timings will depend on several factors including regulatory approvals, internal technical and financial approvals and availability of suitably qualified and experienced contractors. Beach are aware of concerns and challenges about operating in wet weather conditions and are factoring these concerns into our planning. The project will run over phases with different levels of activity, vehicle movements and

people on site. The project phases and indicative timings are shown below. Confirmation of an actual start date for pipeline construction will be provided once all approvals and contracts are in place.

The duration of activity on individual properties will depend on the progress of the works as a whole, the scope of the work required on each property and the weather. Activities will continue to occur on each property throughout the construction period. Remediation of the land, following final pipeline testing, is the last access to property required during the construction phase.

Compulsory acquisitionThe Pipelines Act 2005 (Pipelines Act) and the Pipeline Regulations 2017 (Pipelines Regulations) outline a process to guarantee fair and equitable treatment of landowners leading to the negotiation of easement rights. Beach is dedicated to providing fair and equitable compensation to impacted landowners for the negotiation of easements and additional temporary workspace arrangements. Compensation will be negotiated in line with the Pipelines Act.

The proposed route for the Enterprise Pipeline requires a small number of new easements to be created as the route has been selected to utilise the existing easements for the PL250 pipeline.

If negotiations with landowners and occupiers unfortunately lead to compulsory acquisition of land, Beach will follow the process referred to in relevant sections of the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986 (Vic) (LACA) and the Land Acquisition and Compensation Regulations 2010. This process is only established if Beach is successfully granted Ministerial consent, pursuant to LACA, of an application for Consent to compulsorily acquire an easement over private land. Applications to the Minister can only be made if prior negotiations have been unsuccessful and Beach are able to clearly demonstrate compliance with the required steps and measures for this process. Beach is only permitted to apply to the Minister after six months has elapsed from the service of the Notice of Pipeline Corridor.

The Minister will determine the outcome of the application within 28 days of the submission date. If successful, a Notice of Acquisition will be published in the Government Gazette, as well as provided to all interested parties and published in a relevant local newspaper. Following this, Beach has 14 days to make a fair and equitable compensation offer payable to the landowner/occupier. Negotiations will continue between Beach and the landowner/occupier until a settlement is reached. If a settlement on the level of compensation payable cannot be reached, the matter is referred to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal for amounts less than $50,000 or either party may seek a court hearing for disputes greater than $50,000.

Attempts to negotiate the terms of access must be undertaken by Beach, and a minimum seven days’ notice must be given before entry into tenure of the land.

Further information on the regulatory approvals required for pipeline construction and operation are detailed in the “Onshore Pipeline Regulatory Approvals Information Sheet” located at www.beachenergy.com.au/enterprise-pipeline-consultation/

Seeking independent adviceLandowners and occupiers affected by the Project are encouraged by Beach to seek independent legal advice on any concerns they may have regarding legal implications of the Project, which could include the Project’s potential impact on their land and its use or any other legitimate concern. Pre-defined and agreed reasonable costs incurred in seeking advice in relation to the Project will be reimbursed by Beach.

Consultation Beach is committed to developing and maintaining positive relationships with landowners and occupiers and the broader community. Beach’s consultation with landowners and occupiers will be open and transparent, and aim to facilitate landowner and occupier involvement in the decision-making process so as to allow mutually beneficial outcomes for all parties.

All landowner and occupier feedback, records of consultation, copies of correspondence, including emails, will be communicated to the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP) during planning and construction activities on the proposed pipeline.


Pipeline ConstructionPipeline Construction working widthDuring pipeline installation working clearances will be required. Approximately 20 metres width will be required on the working side of the proposed gas pipeline and 5-10 metres on the soil stockpile side to enable access for excavation machinery, specialist pipeline laying and other vehicles, along with room for materials and equipment.

The trench in to which the lines will be placed is expected to be approximately 1m wide and depth of cover over the pipeline and MEG line is expected to be a minimum of 750mm, and 1200mm at road crossings.

Temporary access requiredTo carry out the pipeline construction, temporary access will be required on the proposed easement on landowner/occupier properties. Some properties will require additional temporary work areas outside of the easement, for vehicle access, vehicle turn around areas, material and equipment lay-down areas.

Additional temporary work areas will be discussed and clearly defined with the relevant landowners and occupiers, including changes to fences or gates and negotiated compensation, prior to any activities being undertaken on the property.

In some instances it may be necessary to arrange access across some landowner’s properties, especially where direct road access is not available or to improve construction efficiency.

Beach’s Community team will work with landowners and occupiers to develop a plan including:

• identification of proposed access tracks;

• arrangements that may be required to minimize and manage any disturbance to farming operations.

Works carried out to facilitate temporary access and manage any disturbance during pipeline installation will be at Beach’s expense.


Construction Methodology Beach will liaise with landowners and occupiers who may experience potential impacts such as noise, traffic, and dust, and will establish measures to minimise the disruption during the construction of the pipeline.

Standard onshore pipeline construction methods will be used for installing the raw gas pipeline and MEG line. This involves:

1. Initial survey The initial survey will collect information which will be used to refine the design of the pipeline through a Safety Management Study (SMS) which assesses the threats that land usage, nearby infrastructure and topography represents to the pipeline. The study ensures that all threats are understood and controls to mitigate them are as effective as possible. Geotechnical investigations will also occur along the pipeline route at significant junctions such as road or creek crossings, where methods such as horizontal directional drilling (HDD) may be required to install the pipeline using minimal excavation.

2. Setting up work areas Prior to construction, crews are required to prepare work areas for machinery such as dedicated pipe lay down yards along the pipeline route, construction material stockpiles, and areas for trenchless construction and HDD (where applicable).

3. Clear and grade Clear and grade involves preparing the pipeline easement to allow construction activities to commence. This includes any additional temporary work areas as agreed with landowners and occupiers. The combined easement and additional work area is commonly referred to as the construction right-of-way (ROW). Any vegetation and topsoil is removed from the construction ROW and stockpiled separately to avoid soil inversion and assist in rehabilitation works after the pipeline is completed. To minimise impact to the surrounding environment, construction crews may only remove trees and vegetation only in accordance with the receipt of appropriate permits.

4. Typical set-up within the construction (ROW) The construction ROW includes the official easement and temporary additional work areas. The construction ROW is clearly defined and

fenced off if required. The common width of the construction ROW is usually between 20 – 30m.

5. Trenching Following preparation of the construction ROW, construction crews will commence trenching for the pipeline. Typically, specialised trenching machines or excavators are used to dig the trenches. Final trenching techniques are to be determined in conjunction with the chosen construction contractor.

6. Trenchless construction Trenchless construction is used when standard trenching techniques cannot be used, such as river crossings, or some public roads. Techniques such as HDD are used to install pipelines with minimal excavation. Specialist operators drill a hole beneath the surface, at a shallow angle, and then pull a welded length of pipe through the hole without disturbing the surface. These operations are highly engineered and are used to eliminate disturbances to infrastructure, environmentally sensitive areas, and to address construction issues.

7. Welding Pipe sections are joined together by a specialised welding crew. Welds are then tested using non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques to ensure weld integrity and then coated to protect against corrosion. Throughout the welding process, fire regulations and restrictions are followed at all times.

8. Sand Padding and lowering in After final assessment of the pipeline weld and coating quality, the trench is padded with sand and the pipe is lowered into the trench using the specialised side boom trucks. Side boom operators coordinate to move slowly and in unison to lower the pipe.

9. Backfill Soil previously removed from the trench is compacted back into the trench to cover the pipeline. In rocky terrain, further sand padding is used to protect the pipeline. Subsoil is screened and backfilled before topsoil and care is taken to keep them separated to ensure that pasture or other groundcover can be rehabilitated.


10. Easement rehabilitation As stated in Section 145 of the Pipelines Act, Beach is required to rehabilitate landowner and occupier property as soon as practicable following pipeline construction to enable it to be used as far as practicable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the construction of that part of the pipeline, or, with the prior approval of the Minister, for any other purpose agreed between Beach and the landowner/occupier. Following rehabilitation, the landowner/occupier are requested to acknowledge that rehabilitation of the land has been completed to an acceptable standard and has met the above requirements.

11. Hydrostatic testing The pipeline will be hydrostatically tested upon verification of construction completeness to ensure its mechanical integrity. Hydrotesting involves filling the pipeline with water and pressurising and sustaining pressure for a period of time, testing it for strength and leak tightness. The exact sequence of the pipeline hydro testing is dependent on the construction sequence. Once the installed pipelines have

successfully passed the hydrostatic pressure test, a process of dewatering and drying will be conducted prior to the final tie-ins of the completed system. Following a sequence of engineering and safety checks, gas will be introduced to pressurise the system.

12. Eventual decommissioning of this proposed pipeline A licenced pipeline must be decommissioned in accordance with AS2285.1, referring to the APGA Code of Environmental Practice., specifically Section 9 and the approved decommissioning plan. The Pipelines Act requires this decommissioning plan be approved by the regulatory authority. An environmental risk assessment process that identifies any potential effect on the environment and other uses/users of the easement should support decommissioning preparation. If the decommissioned pipeline is left in place, appropriate measures will be taken to prevent contamination of soil or groundwater and to avoid land subsidence impacts.

Questions and Answers What are you installing? If the exploration well proves successful, construction will commence on a new high strength steel pipeline approximately 12km long, and 200-300mm in diameter. Buried at a minimum depth of 750mm, and 1200mm at road crossings, the pipeline will flow the raw natural gas to from the Enterprise well site to the Otway Gas Plant. Alongside the gas pipeline, a 50mm-100mm diameter mono-ethylene Glycol (MEG) line will be used to circulate MEG which acts as an anti-freeze, and prevents corrosion of the pipeline. The pipeline trench will also be used to carry a fibre optic cable to connect the well site monitoring systems to the control room at the Otway Gas Plant, to enable the Enterprise Well Site to be monitored 24/7. The new Enterprise pipeline will be constructed alongside the existing Otway Raw Gas Pipeline (PL250) for the majority of its length.

What is a MEG line?The accompanying MEG line is used in pipeline development to act as an anti-freeze. This prevents hydrate formation from occurring, which is the reaction of water and hydrocarbons that exist in the reservoirs.

Is the project likely to proceed?If Beach determines that the exploration well is commercially viable, the proposed pipeline will be constructed to flow the raw gas for processing at the nearby Otway Gas Plant. The processed gas will then supply to the East coast gas market.

Are you experienced in pipeline installation?Beach, via its subsidiary Lattice Energy, has successfully and safely installed other pipelines in the project area. In 2006, Beach/Lattice installed the Otway Raw Gas Pipeline (PL250) to transport natural gas from the Geographe and Thylacine offshore gas fields to be processed at the Otway Gas Plant. In 2016, Beach (then Origin Energy) also successfully installed the 33km of Halladale Pipeline (PL006009) on the Halladale, Black Watch and Speculant Project. Beach has a team of highly skilled gas industry professionals with extensive experience to deliver this project.

What approvals are required for pipeline construction?The proposed Enterprise pipeline will be developed and constructed in accordance with the legislative provisions of the Pipelines Act 2005 (the Pipelines Act) and Pipeline Regulations 2017 (the Pipelines Regulations).

For more information on regulatory approvals, please refer to the “Onshore Pipeline Regulatory Approvals Information Sheet” located at www.beachenergy.com.au/enterprise-pipeline-consultation/

What’s in the Pipeline Consultation Plan (PCP)?The PCP demonstrates how Beach will consult with landowners and occupiers that will be affected by the Project about the proposed pipeline and meet the consultation requirements laid out in the legislation and regulations. The details of the PCP include identification of stakeholders, information on consultation and records management procedures, as well as setting out consultation material and notices. The approved Pipeline Consultation Plan can be downloaded from Beach’s website at www.beachenergy.com.au/enterprise-pipeline-consultation/

How was the proposed pipeline route selected? Did you consider connecting to existing pipelines such as Otway Raw Gas or HBWS?Beach has been assessing and will continue to assess alternative pipeline routes, however the route described in this information sheet is the preferred option at this time. The selection process for the final pipeline route will include the outcomes of the consultation process and will consider many factors, including project requirements, existing easements, landowner considerations, options to minimise environmental and cultural impact, geotechnical considerations and land tenure for both the construction and operational phases.

Several alternative pipeline connections utilising existing infrastructure in the Project area were considered such as hot-tapping into the existing PL250 (Otway Raw Gas) pipeline, and the existing PL006009 (HBWS) pipeline. However, these options were determined to be unsuitable in meeting the above factors and requirements. Beach will continue to monitor other options which may become available within the project timeframe.


Where can I find detailed maps of the route?Once the final pipeline route has been selected, Beach will issue a Notice of Pipeline Corridor to all landowners and occupiers along the route as well as other stakeholders as outlined in the Pipelines Act. This will include the detailed route along with approved Project consultation information unless already provided to the landowner/occupier.

The current proposed pipeline route means you will be working next to a live pipeline. Is it safe to do this?Construction of the proposed Enterprise pipeline next to the existing PL250 pipeline will use special construction methods to ensure that no damage is caused to the existing line, no long term threats are imposed, and that it is still accessible once the proposed pipeline is operational. The existing pipeline will be precisely located using predetermined spacing to define the exact depth and position, including any curves or peaks in pipe bends. To do this, a pipe locator is used during preliminary walkthroughs, and vacuum pot-holing is used during construction to establish visual confirmation of the line, uncovering the top and sides of the pipe. Marker post signs and CP test points will also be scouted and avoided or managed to ensure there no increased risk to the integrity of the line, prior to clearing and quarantine of the local topsoil. Planning for the proposed pipeline route will consider and apply construction methods which maintain safe separation from the existing line and other infrastructure.

A construction Hazard Identification is the primary means of assessing the risks associated with construction in close proximity to PL250. All excavation works will be managed with both a spotter and excavation supervisor as key controls to ensuring the existing pipeline is not damaged and that approved excavation plans are followed.

A Safety Management Study (SMS) workshop will be conducted for the detailed design of the proposed pipeline. Operators of existing buried assets and services in the study corridor are presented with the initial design proposals and safeguards are assessed to ensure understanding of risk and the effectiveness of controls, through the construction program and ongoing operations. Landowner and occupier details such as land use, equipment and activities are gathered during preliminary engagement and used to inform the SMS workshop.

How will you consult with impacted landholders and occupiers?Beach is committed to conducting all communication and consultation with landowners and occupiers in a clear and concise manner using plain English and minimising technical terms where possible. Beach seeks to conduct as much consultation as possible on a face-to-face basis to encourage active feedback from each landowner and occupier.

Initial consultation and introduction of the Project will be undertaken by Beach’s Community Relations Manager (Victoria) and the Community Manager, supported by local Land Liaison Officers. Each landowner/occupier will be assigned a primary Beach representative for the duration of the Project and act as their principal contact throughout. During pre-construction and construction phases Beach will engage experienced Land Liaison Officers to oversee property-specific requirements and liaise with the construction contractor on the resolution of any issues. The sequence and timing of consultation has been designed to ensure that all landowners and occupiers are kept informed of the Project, and to ensure that issues are identified and resolved in a timely fashion.

A toll-free phone number and email are available for landowners and occupiers at all times, providing out-of-hours access to Beach representatives should urgent landowner issues or emergency situations arise.

As per the regulatory requirements, Beach will provide a copy of the PCP to each affected landowner and occupier, and provide advice on public display of regulatory documentation throughout each phase of the Project. Letters, information sheets and diagrams, and a project website will also be used to support consultation with landowners and occupiers along the pipeline route.

Otway Gas Plant


What kind of surveys will you be conducting on my property?A variety of field surveys of the proposed pipeline route, including environment, cultural heritage and other surveys will be required to collect data to develop project assessment documentation, such as potential impacts and how they will be managed. The surveys that are required for the proposed pipeline include:

• Ecology survey

• Cultural Heritage

• Soil conductivity

• Hydrology survey

• Survey location

• Geotechnical

• Feature survey (terrain, trees, building outlines, dams, water courses etc.)

Details of the proposed surveys to be carried out in the proposed pipeline route are disclosed in the PCP as well as the Notice of intention to enter land for survey that has been provided to landowners and occupiers.

How will you manage impacts to my property during construction and operation?Beach is committed to working with landowners and occupiers throughout the construction and operation of the proposed pipeline to ensure impacts are minimised and, where possible, avoided. The potential impacts of the proposed pipeline to landowner and occupier property during construction will be managed via data collected from initial surveys and the development of Property Management Plans (PMP). Beach will involve all affected landowners and occupiers in the development of their respective PMP to ensure that concerns and issues are directly reflected in the alternatives developed and to provide feedback on how landowners and occupiers’ input influenced the pipeline construction on their property.

Subject to the Pipelines Act, key management plans such as the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and the Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP) will be also developed.

As the pipeline becomes operational, Beach will meet with each landowner/occupier and collect (or update existing) information regarding access to the pipeline for operations and maintenance as well as any property specific requirements. This information is collected in a ‘Land Book’ for each pipeline.

Beach’s internal Pipeline Stakeholder Engagement Plan (Victoria) (PSEP) will be referred to for the approach and obligations with regard to stakeholder consultation during the operational phase of the pipeline. Construction and operation of the proposed pipeline will be carried out using proven techniques.

Will you rehabilitate the site?As stated in Section 145 of the Pipelines Act, Beach is required to rehabilitate landowner and occupier property as soon as practicable following pipeline construction to enable it to be used as far as practicable for the purposes for which it was used immediately before the construction of that part of the pipeline, or, with the prior approval of the Minister, for any other purpose agreed between Beach and the landowner/occupier.

Areas of disturbance will be engineered and planned in a manner to limit the size of the disturbance and minimize rehabilitation requirements. Activities that may cause areas of disturbance requiring rehabilitation include, but are not limited to:

• pipeline construction;

• access tracks to certain pipeline sections and vehicle turn around areas;

• equipment lay down and storage areas.

Rehabilitation of any land which is disturbed or damaged due to installation of the pipeline will typically include reinstating top soil as far as practicable, reinstating fencing (if required), clean up and re-sowing/fertilizing disturbed pasture. All rehabilitation works will be carried out at Beach’s expense.

Following rehabilitation, the landowner/occupier is requested to acknowledge that rehabilitation of the land has been completed to an acceptable standard and has met the above requirements.

Enterprise Pipeline Regulatory Approvals | October 2019 | Rev 0 1 of 2

Enterprise PipelineOnshore Pipeline Regulatory ApprovalsOctober 2019

Project overview The Enterprise Project is a program to develop additional offshore natural gas reservoirs in the Victorian Otway Basin. The potential reservoirs are located offshore, up to 3 nautical miles (5.55 km) from the coastline, while the well site will be located onshore near Port Campbell. If Beach determines that the exploration well is commercially viable, a pipeline will be constructed to flow the raw gas for processing at the nearby Otway Gas Plant, for supply to the Australian domestic gas market. Timings for pipeline construction approvals require us to commence consultations early, before we have fully assessed commercial viability of the first Enterprise well.

Regulatory ApprovalsThe primary legislation required for the construction, operation, maintenance and decommissioning of the proposed Enterprise pipeline are:

• the Pipelines Act 2005 (Pipelines Act); and

• the Pipeline Regulations 2017 (Pipelines Regulations).

The Pipelines Act and the Pipelines Regulations oversee the management and regulation of high transmission pipelines in Victoria and are administered by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP). Energy Safe Victoria (ESV) is also involved in matters of safety in the approvals process on pipeline projects. Beach is committed to completing the legislative and regulatory requirements necessary to obtain all approvals on the Enterprise Pipeline Project.

Construction and installation of high transmission pipelines in Victoria require Ministerial approval in the form of a Licence to Construct and Operate a Pipeline.

Prior to obtaining a Pipeline Licence, Beach is required to develop a Minister-approved Pipeline Consultation Plan (PCP), to demonstrate how Beach will consult with landowners and occupiers about the proposed pipeline and meet the consultation requirements laid out in the legislation and regulations. Certain consultation activities compatible with the Pipelines Act, such as giving Notice of intention to enter land for survey and Notice of Pipeline Corridor, and Notice of Pipeline License Application cannot commence until an approved PCP is obtained.

Other statutory documents are required to be developed by Beach and approved by the Regulators. Approval to construct a pipeline requires development of a Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) and Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP). Approval to operate a pipeline requires development of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP); and Safety Management Plan (SMP).

About Beach


Relevant regulatory documents will be available for public display where required by the statutory process or as directed by the Regulator. As regulatory processes progress, Beach will provide further information to landowners, occupiers and other stakeholders.

Agreements with landowners and occupiersProcesses used to obtain access to land and tenure for construction and operation of the proposed pipeline will comply with the Pipelines Act and the Pipelines Regulations. Under the Pipelines Act, Beach is required to establish long-term or temporary land access arrangements with landowners and occupiers. This could include easement purchases or licencing arrangements for construction and operation of the proposed pipeline.

Easement acquisition The Pipelines Act and the Pipelines Regulations outline a process to guarantee fair and equitable treatment of landowners and occupiers leading to the negotiation of easement rights.

If negotiations with landowners and occupiers require compulsory acquisition of land, Beach will follow the process referred to in relevant sections of the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act 1986 (Vic) and the Land Acquisition and Compensation Regulations 2010. This process is only established if Beach is successfully granted Ministerial consent, pursuant to the Land Acquisition and Compensation Act, of an Application for consent to compulsorily acquire an easement over private land.

Regulatory Authorities The development of a project such as this requires the involvement of several key regulatory authorities. An overview of the roles and responsibilities of the key regulatory authorities involved in the Project is outlined below, along with contact details should further information be required.

Re: NOTICE OF INTENTION TO ENTER LAND FOR SURVEY

In accordance with Section 19(1) of the Pipelines Act 2005 (the “Act”), Lattice Energy Limited, a member of

the Beach Energy Limited group of companies (“Beach”) (ACN 007 845 338) of Level 8, 80 Flinders Street,

Adelaide SA 5000 hereby gives you Notice of its intention to enter your Land for the purpose of conducting a

series of low impact field surveys. These surveys are necessary for Beach to understand and to investigate the

Land for its suitability for the pipeline route.

In accordance with Section 19 of the Act, this Notice contains the required information and is accompanied

by the project information sheets.

Intended use of the proposed pipeline

The proposed pipeline will consist of a 200-300mm diameter production pipeline, accompanied by a 50-

100mm diameter MEG line, both approximately 12km in length. The proposed new pipeline would run from

the onshore Enterprise drill site near Port Campbell, joining into existing easements housing the Otway

pipeline, and then connecting to the existing gas processing facility, the Otway Gas Plant, both of which are

operated by the Proponent. If the Enterprise joint venture determines that the project is commercially viable,




the proposed pipeline will be constructed and used to flow the raw gas for processing at the nearby Otway

Gas Plant, the processed gas will then supply to the East coast gas market.

Details of the proposed surveys

A variety of field surveys of the proposed pipeline route, including environment, cultural heritage and other

surveys, will be required to collect data to develop project assessment documentation, such as potential

impacts and how they will be managed as outlined in the Construction Environment Management Plan

(CEMP) and the Construction Safety Management Plan (CSMP). The surveys that are required for the

proposed pipeline include:

• Terrestrial and aquatic ecology (flora and fauna around land/Port Campbell Creek)

• Cultural Heritage

• Soil conductivity

• Hydrology survey

• Survey location

• Geotechnical

• Feature survey (terrain, trees, building outlines, dams, water courses etc.)

Details of the proposed surveys to be carried out in the proposed pipeline route are disclosed in Attachment

1 (“Surveys”).

Pegs and markers may be placed on the Land while undertaking the Surveys and may be removed on

request. Please note, the majority of Surveys will not require ground disturbance on your Land. However,

minor excavation of the Land will be required during geotechnical investigations which are necessary to

assist Beach in designing the pipeline to safely cross watercourses and major roads.

Name and Address of Person or body engaged to carry out the survey

Beach will be engaging subcontractors to conduct the surveys outlined in Attachment 1 of the Notice. At the

time of this Notice, Beach is in the process of selecting the preferred subcontractor[(s)] to undertake the

Surveys. Subcontractor details will be made available to you once finalised. Subcontractors will be made

aware of their commitment and responsibility to comply with quality management and health, safety and the

environment requirements, to ensure impacts to Land are minimized.

Map of the proposed route of the pipeline or the pipeline corridor

A map of the proposed pipeline route over the Land is included with this Notice as Attachment 2 and shows

the following:

• the relevant part of the Land over which the survey is proposed to be made; and

• the location of that Land including the allotment and section numbers, parish and municipal names and

the boundaries of adjacent Lands relating to the proposed survey.



Consent to enter Land

Beach will take all reasonable steps to enter into agreement with each landowner and occupier to enter the

Land and conduct the Surveys. Beach is committed to clear and transparent communications during these

discussions to ensure you have an appropriate understanding of the requirements of the surveys. If no

agreement is reached on one or more parcels of Land, Beach may apply to the Minister for consent to enter

your Land within 14 days after issuing the Notice of Intention to Enter Land.

Terrestrial and aquatic

ecology

Assessment of isolated areas to be undertaken to determine significant flora and

fauna in terrestrial and aquatic (Port Campbell Creek) ecosystems, to manage

environmental impacts of the construction and operation of the pipeline. Access to

these areas will be obtained by light vehicle where appropriate. No ground

disturbance is necessary. The survey will occur within the mapped targeted survey

area displayed in the Notice of Intention to Enter Land for Survey previously provided

to you.

Cultural Heritage A small team of 4-5 people will assess the relevant areas via foot to manage impacts

of the construction and operation of the pipeline to land and artefacts of cultural

significance. Ground disturbance may be required at more isolated locations where

teams will hand dig shallow holes. Access to these areas will be obtained by light

vehicle where appropriate. Representatives from Eastern Maar may be present if they

wish to attend. The survey will occur within the mapped targeted survey area

displayed in the Notice of Intention to Enter Land for Survey previously provided to

you.

Soil conductivity A small team of 2-3 people will assess the relevant areas by foot or in a light vehicle,

accessing discrete locations of the Property to measure electrical conductivity of soil.

Data collected will be used to inform the pipeline design. The reading is made using a

small hand-held probe inserted approximately 20cm into the ground. The survey will

occur within the mapped targeted survey area displayed in the Notice of Intention to

Enter Land for Survey previously provided to you.

Hydrology survey If a river or stream crosses the proposed pipeline route, a small team of 2-3 people

will assess the relevant areas by foot or in a light vehicle to determine and record river

or stream conditions. The area to be inspected will extend up to 50m upstream and

50m downstream of the ‘proposed pipeline route’ outlined in the Notice of Intention

to Enter Land for Survey previously provided to you.

Survey location Survey locations are to determine the positions of underground service utilities

(underground infrastructure), which is then required to inform the design of the

pipeline and prevent damage to service utilities where surveys are undertaken using

mechanical equipment to break ground in a discrete area. A metal detector and a

water jet are used to confirm the locality of the underground infrastructure. Any

wastewater created from these surveys is collected in a wastewater tank through a

vacuum system. Areas disturbed during this Survey will be reinstated at the

completion of the Survey.

The survey will occur within the mapped targeted survey area displayed in the Notice

of Intention to Enter Land for Survey previously provided to you.

Geotechnical Geotechnical surveys are required to assist Beach in designing the pipeline to safely

cross rivers and major roads. A geotechnical investigation will include surface

exploration and subsurface exploration of a site, using a vehicle mounted drill rig

(4WD or truck) to establish boreholes measuring 10 to 15cm in diameter and up to

20m in depth and/or the use of a narrow probe to test soil layers and confirm soil

stability at discrete locations.

In some instances, a PVC pipe will be positioned into the hole to keep the hole open

and allow for the soil permeability to be tested. The PVC pipe will be removed at the

end of the 12 month Survey period unless you allow it to remain for use in the

construction period.

Sample drill cuttings are taken to be analysed and the remaining cuttings will be

placed back into bore holes during back-filling and restoration. Survey vehicles used

may vary in size.

The geotechnical Survey will occur within the Survey Area shown on the map outlined

in the Notice of Intention to Enter Land for Survey previously provided to you.



Name of Survey Description of Survey activities

Feature survey A small team of 2-3 people will assess the relevant areas by foot or in a light vehicle,

using surveying technology to develop a digital three dimensional image of physical

features that the pipeline may effect (terrain, trees, building outlines, dams, water

courses etc). These measurements and images may be taken from anywhere within a

distance of 100m of the proposed pipeline route (shown in the Notice of Intention to

Enter Land for Survey previously provided to you). Surface scans may be taken to

confirm position of existing underground pipelines. Pegs may be placed in the ground

at fence-lines and at other distinct locations (which will be removed at the end of

construction or beforehand on request).

Re: NOTICE OF PIPELINE CORRIDOR

In accordance with Section 27(1) of the Pipelines Act 2005 (the “Act”), and Regulation 7 of the Pipeline

Regulations 2017 (the “Regulations”), I, Lattice Energy Limited, a member of the Beach Energy Limited group

of companies (“Beach”) (ACN 007 845 338) of Level 8, 80 Flinders Street, Adelaide SA 5000, is considering

applying for a licence to construct and operate a pipeline over the following Land:

Description of the land (see attached sketch showing the relevant part of the land) and title particulars

A copy of a plan showing the pipeline corridor is attached to this Notice.

The proposed pipeline will consist of a 200-300mm diameter production pipeline, accompanied by a 50-

100mm diameter MEG line, both approximately 12km in length. The proposed new pipeline would run from


NOTICE OF PIPELINE CORRIDOR


the onshore Enterprise drill site near Port Campbell, joining into existing easements housing the Otway

pipeline, and then connecting to the existing gas processing facility, the Otway Gas Plant, both of which are

operated by the Proponent. If the Enterprise joint venture determines the project is commercially viable, the

proposed pipeline will be constructed and used to flow the raw gas for processing at the nearby Otway Gas

Plant, the processed gas will then supply to the East coast gas market.

The selection process for the final pipeline route will consider many factors, including project requirements,

existing easements, landowner considerations, options to minimise environmental and cultural impact,

geotechnical considerations and land tenure for both the construction and operational phases.

*Information regarding the proposed pipeline, including the processes that will be followed for obtaining

required approvals and details of how Lattice Energy Limited, a member of the Beach Energy Limited group

of companies proposes to consult with you is also attached.
