Issue #207 16 December 2016 An aerial view shows the progress made at the Bladin Point construction site last year (left) compared with the end of 2016 (right). Strong progress has been made in 2016 across all scopes of work on the Ichthys Project Onshore LNG Facilities. I d like to thank our staff, subcontractors and the Darwin community for working with us to make the success of the past year possible. The Project reached peak construction in the second half of 2016, with more than 8,000 workers on site each day. More than 20 million construction hours have been worked this year and we have achieved several significant milestones along the way. The 18 non-cryogenic storage tanks were safely completed in May. The last of 230 pre-fabricated modules arrived at site in September, leading to the wrap-up of associated work packages such as heavy lifting and sea lifting activities. This year, we celebrated the achievements of eight local trainees who graduated from the inaugural JKC Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander White Collar Traineeship Program. Based on the success of this program, we welcomed a second intake of local trainees in June, who are hosted by our subcontractors with the support of group training organisation Apprenticeships Australia. A special thank you to the people of Darwin for your incredible support. More than 4,000 of you were part of our team this year. I would also like to thank the more than 1,100 local businesses who have supplied JKC and our subcontractors with goods and services to date. The progress we have made in 2016 is something to be proud of and it has paved the way for the safe pre-commissioning, commissioning and start-up phases of the Project. Construction of the LNG trains continues with Best wishes for the festive season. mechanical, piping, electrical and instrumentation works taking place. Significant progress has also been made on the civil finishing works. The permanent operations facilities are nearing completion, signifying the beginning of the transition from construction to operations. John Bramley Project Director JKC Australia LNG

Project workers have once again dug deep to support the local Darwin community, by donating approximately 30 pallets of goods to local charities. The Project s Christmas Charity Drive runs over four weeks, with workers from across site donating non-perishable food, toiletries, toys and baby goods to the Australian Red Cross, St Vincent de Paul, Somerville Community Services and The Salvation Army. The majority of these donations have come from individual workers wanting to give back to the local community, and offer some Christmas spirit at a time of year that can be challenging for people who are experiencing tough times. I d like to thank everyone for their compassion and kindness. Along with the 30 pallets of goods, $60,000 in grocery vouchers were donated from the Ichthys Project JKC Project Director John Bramley said the generosity workforce. of the workers was heart-warming. Workers from JKC subcontractor Monadelphous voted to donate $10,000 instead of hosting a Christmas The quality and quantity of donations this year is party and a Laing O Rourke employee donated a $500 outstanding, John said.
