Community engagement in the Northern Territory June 2016 update

Introduction Major milestones being reached in 2016 2016 is a year of important milestones for the Ichthys LNG Project. With the Project more than 87 per cent complete, construction of the onshore processing facilities at Bladin Point in Darwin continues to steam towards its peak intensity. In the fourth year of construction in Darwin, Territorians continue to be at the heart of this complex project. More than 3500 locals are amongst the workforce of more than 7000 at Bladin Point. More than 1000 Territory businesses have secured 3900 Project contracts and more than A $8 billion is flowing through the Territory economy as a result of Project related activity. In collaboration with JKC, more than 900 Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples have been engaged on the Project and 54 businesses have secured contracts valued at A $119 million. With an expected operating life of 40 years, the Project will continue to deliver social and economic benefits to Territorians for generations. Working closely with the Project s lead onshore contractor, JKC LNG Australia (JKC), local businesses are also benefiting.

Supporting Territorians to target future careers The trainees were selected from more than 1000 applicants nationwide to undertake a two-year Cert III in Process Plant Operations traineeship. I m a fitter machinist by trade and I ve always had an interest in how LNG plants operate, Nathan said. This traineeship was a chance for a total career change and new.

Palmerston man Nathan Evans is one of 10 Territorians taking up the chance for a career change thanks to a traineeship with the INPEX-operated Ichthys LNG Project. The program is run through Charles Darwin University s North Australian Centre for Oil and Gas, which was established with the support of $3 million from the Project. It is overseen by Australian Apprenticeships NT. Nathan and his fellow trainees will complete their course at the end of the year. Engineers Australia Mark Monaghan, Challenge winners from Sanderson Middle School and INPEX s Adam Mattys. The Ichthys LNG Project will be operating in Darwin for at least 40 years and INPEX hopes to inspire young Territorians to consider a future in the oil and gas industry. In April, INPEX engineers offered career advice to Darwin school students at the Science and Engineering Challenge held at Charles Darwin University. Year 9 and 10 students competed against the engineers in a series of challenges and activities designed to engage students in science and engineering. INPEX was pleased to sponsor the nation-wide challenge, which is a collaborative project managed by Engineers Australia Northern Division and supported by Charles Darwin University.

New trainees are welcomed to the Ichthys LNG Project. Eight Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders peoples have embarked on new career pathways with the Ichthys LNG Project. They have commenced a JKC Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander White Collar Traineeship, a 12-month course that combines study and practical skills to support careers in areas such as business administration, human resources, logistics and work, health and safety. The trainees are hosted by JKC with various subcontractors across the Bladin Point site. The program is supported by Apprenticeships Australia. This is the second roll-out of the program and follows the successful graduation of the inaugural eight students in May. Many of the first graduates are now employed on the Project. Heavy weight milestone The Ichthys LNG Project marked a key milestone in June, safely completing the two most complex heavy lifts so far at Bladin Point. Weighing 320 tonnes each, the access platforms for the site s two LNG cryogenic tanks were lifted 44 metres to the roof of the tanks and safely secured. Each tank s platform is the entry point for LNG being pumped from the process trains and the exit point for gas being delivered to the product loading jetty for export. Platforms are secured in place. It took six hours to lift each platform, with the complex process needing 23 lifting lugs and 53 slings.

INPEX and the Ichthys LNG Project are committed to keeping Territorians up to date about our activities. We use a wide range of methods to stay in touch, including feedback lines, regular Project bulletins and updates and information stands.

Supporting our Darwin s only youth drop in centre has expanded its services with the support of a partnership with the Ichthys LNG Project. Run by the Australian Red Cross for 30 years, the SHAK in Casuarina provides a highly-valued, safe and creative space for Darwin s young people. SHAK Coordinator Freya Bundey, from Red Cross, works with volunteers, youth organisations, schools and contractors in the Darwin area to provide structured activities and open access hours at the centre. About 90 per cent of the young people who go to the SHAK are Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. The support from the Project has enabled the centre to recruit two Aboriginal youth work trainees who provide leadership, mentoring and meaningful activities for the SHAK s participants. The SHAK s Freya Bundey and Liam McManus have expanded their service for young people. SHAK s opening hours have been expanded for more formal activities and to provide a safe space for young people to relax and stay out of trouble. INPEX and the Ichthys LNG Project will be part of the Northern Territory for at least 40 years. We ve invested more than A $1.5 million since 2012 to support a range of initiatives and programs, with a particular focus on youth, education, the arts and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander programs.

INPEX has sponsored the Barunga and Garrmalang festivals. The Ichthys LNG Project s Manigurr-ma Village has supported Berry Springs Primary School. INPEX is pleased to support the Starlight Children s Foundation.

Project benefits flowing to family businesses INPEX and the Ichthys LNG Project are committed to supporting local businesses to secure work on the Project. More than 3900 contracts have been awarded to more than 1000 Territory businesses. Family-owned and operated Yarrawonga business, Totalweld, has been supplying welding equipment and supplies to the Ichthys LNG Project for more than three years. Totalweld Manager, Alan Bennett. We first started with our first contractor at Bladin Point in 2013 and that gave us the opportunity to supply other contractors on site, Manager, Alan Bennett, said. We ve worked with contractors building the jetty, the module offloading facility, the tanks and the power station. In business for 22 years, Totalweld employs 12 people in service, sales and equipment hire. Alan said working on the Project has helped maintain the business s stability. We re here locally to provide a service and that goes a long way in our relationships with customers. Rusca Bros Services is led by company Directors, Shannon and Robbie Rusca, and Manager Derick Yates. Rusca Bros cut the first access road in to the future Bladin Point construction site in 2011. Since then, it has employed hundreds of Territorians on a range of Project contracts. Rusca Bros Services Derick Yates and Shannon Rusca. Working on the Ichthys LNG Project has given many young Territorians the chance to buy their first home or a family car, according to one of the NT s leading civil works companies. We were in a position to go beyond what we normally would have done with our services, Derick said. Rusca Bros has grown by about 35 per cent off the back of work on the Project. We won t lose sight of what we set out to do, and that is supporting for young Indigenous people, Shannon said. Attending one of the largest energy conferences in the world has changed the way John Hayes runs his air conditioning and electrical services company. John s business, Johnny Cool Darwin, has been working on the Ichthys LNG Project since 2012. He and Project Manager, Ross Carmichael, were sponsored by the Project to attend the highly regarded Offshore Technology Conference (OTC) in Houston, Texas, earlier this year. OTC showcased the latest products and innovations of more than 2600 companies globally, to more than 68,000 attendees. Having good relationships with people is one of the biggest things needed to succeed, so the networking opportunity was invaluable, Ross said. Johnny Cool Darwin s Ross Carmichael and John Hayes. The industry s not getting any smaller in Darwin and I have the confidence to invest more to align ourselves with future oil and gas, John said. It is the fourth year the Project has sponsored local businesses to attend OTC.
