Callide Infrastructure Corridor

In 2009 the Coordinator-General recognised the need for an infrastructure corridor to provide for co-location of underground pipelines to transport coal seam gas from Callide to the proposed Curtis Island liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants within the Gladstone State Development Area.

The Callide Infrastructure Corridor was declared a state development area on 1 October 2009. This enables the state to facilitate and effectively manage the planned development of co-located pipelines and associated infrastructure.

The route is approximately 44 kilometres long and is generally 200 metres wide. In specific areas where environmental, geographic and construction issues exist, the corridor is wider for pipe separation and construction purposes.

Development scheme

The development scheme for the Callide Infrastructure Corridor State Development Area prepared by the Coordinator-General was approved by the Governor in Council on 1 October 2009. The scheme is a land use control instrument, administered by the Coordinator General to guide future development in the state development area.

The role of the Coordinator-General is to assess and determine all applications for land use development (material change of use) within the state development area.

Material change of use applications are subject to fees. For more information, read the Guideline for material change of use application fees (PDF, 148 KB).
