LIP Quarterly Update - Sep 2024

In July, team members from our Long Island Point Plant took part in Willum Warrain Aboriginal Association’s Tree Planting Day along with members from Western Port Biosphere, Mornington Peninsula Shire and Willum Warrain. Despite the wet weather, they managed to plant over 200 Indigenous plants as part of their Healing Water Country Project. The project, supported by our Gippsland Basin Joint Venture between Esso Australia and Woodside Energy, will help to create a biolink along the water course between Willum Warrain’s pun pun (wetlands) and the Warrangine Creek, helping to restore the environment and increase biodiversity.

I also had the opportunity to attend Willum Warrain’s NAIDOC Flag Raising Ceremony along with some of my team members in July. It was really encouraging to see so many people from our Hastings community in attendance to learn and celebrate the history, culture and achievements of our Aboriginal & Torres Strait Islander community.

I am pleased to announce that our Hastings Generation Plant is progressing through commissioning, and we are on track to commence the startup of the facility in the last quarter of 2024. I’d like to thank the team for their hard work over the past two years in helping to deliver this important project, the first of its kind in Australia, that will help to improve community and environmental outcomes.
