The former Gasworks site at East Perth was used for the production of gas from coal between 1922 and 1971. Since decommissioning of the gas plant in 1971, structures have been progressively demolished. The site is now used as a services depot by the State Energy Commission of Western Australia, which is the owner of the site. As a result of past operations, extensive contamination by coal tars, including known carcinogenic and toxic organic chemicals, exists on the site and in adjacent areas of...

The proposal is to construct and operate a 132 kilovolt (kV) transmission line between either the Picton or Manjimup substations and Mineral Deposits Limited proposed mineral sands mine at Beenup. SECWA's preferred option is for an overhead supply at 132kV from the Manjimup substation. Two other options from Picton (Great North Road and Margaret River) are also proposed.

SECWA proposes to expand the generating capacity of the approved Pinjar gas turbine power station site (eight 37MW units) by approximately 300 megawatts (MW). This represents a doubling in the power generating capacity of the power station. In SECWA's original proposal (approved under Ministerial Statement 61 ) the plant was proposed to be a peaking plant which can operate at times of high demand (1 to 8 hours per day) or in emergencies. In this expansion proposal the new gas turbines are... Read more...Last updated: June 12, 1991
The proposal is to establish a second coal-fired base load power station 8km east-north-east of Collie. The proposal includes the construction of two 300 megawatt power generating units and associated infrastructure that will occupy 388 hectares of land. The proposed site is located on the edge of the Collie Coal Basin which is an area that contains the mineable coal reserves in the Collie region., The report:, An integral part of the environmental impact assessment process includes the need to...

The proposal is to provide reticulated gas to the public in the Mandurah area using standard air/gas mixing and storage facilities at SECWA's site in Gordon Road, Mandurah. The plant will provide an initial gas reticulation system to allow a customer base to be established. Further planning is to provide a connection to the Perth-Bunbury natural gas pipeline when the customer base is large enough to warrant the capital investment. The plant is similar to one operating in Albany... Read more...Last updated: April 30, 1990

The proposal is for a 330 kV transmission line from Harvey to Kwinana, a distance of approximately 102 km. The first 51 km of the route parallels the existing Bunbury - Cannington 132 kV line from the Harvey Substation site almost to Pinjarra. There are a number of deviations to avoid major road intersections, dwellings and their environs and Pinjarra townsite. Following this , the route joins the existing Muja - Southern Terminal 330 kV line and follows it for most of the next 44 km. There is... Read more...
