Territory's Economic Future Secured

Joint venture partners INPEX and Total have made a final investment decision on the multi-billion dollar Ichthys gas project.

This means jobs for Territorians, opportunities for local business and a boost to the economy.

At the peak of construction, a workforce of nearly 3000 will be needed to build the onshore facilities, which include an LNG plant, a condensate plant, product loading jetties and a 300-megawatt power station.

There will also be education opportunities with the new North Australian Centre for Oil and Gas at CDU and the Larrakia Trade Training Centre.

Today’s Year 12 students, apprentices and trainees could be working as engineers, tradesmen and project managers when the gas plant begins operating in 2016.
