APA relationship with AGL APA has entered into a development • agreement with AGL to undertake development of the pipeline APA is the proponent for the pipeline • and will own and operate the asset The AGL Crib Point Project and the APA • Pipeline Project are subject to further project approvals and Final Investment Decisions Pipeline asset can also facilitate (in • addition to AGL gas importation proposal) Supply of gas to new and existing developments along pipeline route Allowance for future offtakes – townships, developments and subdivisions etc. 10/08/2016 10 July/August 2018

crib point pakenham pipeline - proposed route 15 July/August 2018
construction - overview • Pipeline construction methods dependent on location and constraints Open agricultural land Sensitive environmental and vegetated areas Urban and industrial land Crossing of major infrastructure (e.g. road, rail) • APA construction planning taking into account both seasonal and project delivery timeframes Reputable and experienced construction contractor Receiving advice from contractors in relation to design, scheduling, cost and constructability assessments • Construction corridor of 30m (15m permanent and 15m temporary) width required for safe and efficient pipeline construction Additional requirements for truck turn-arounds, stockpiling and lateral access Width can be reduced in areas of constraint Alternative construction methods (e.g. horizontal directional drill, boring) 10/08/2016 16 July/August 2018
construction - typical layout Open-cut 20m 10m HDD 10/08/2016 17 July/August 2018
construction - street works • APA proposed an alignment that utilises the verge and service road of Frankston Flinders Road through Hastings Between Reid Parade and Graydens Road • Complex route selection and congested existing linear corridors • Consultation undertaken with council and VicRoads to determine initial feasibility • Proposing detailed service proving program to verify final pipeline alignment • Pipeline construction typical of civil roadworks program 18 - 36 metres of pipe laying per day Restrict to small section of pipeline and associated traffic impact at any one time • Detailed engagement with the public and notifications as APA proceeds closer to construction 10/08/2016 18 July/August 2018

technical investigations - overview • Various technical investigations have been completed to support APA’s design and regulatory approvals processes • These investigations include: Ecology – terrestrial and aquatic Heritage – Aboriginal and European Acid Sulfate Soil assessment Hydrogeological assessment Noise emissions Greenhouse gas emissions Landscape and visual amenity Safety hazards • The purpose of these investigations are to avoid or minimise potential environmental and community impacts • Assessments are near finalisation and will inform APA’s environmental referrals. • Final drafts of relevant reports will be placed on APA’s website 10/08/2016 24 July/August 2018
