The Gas Supply and Emergency Management Committee was established on 29 January 2009 following an announcement by the Western Australian Government. The Committee reviewed the security of the State’s gas supplies and how any future gas supply disruptions be managed. The Committee was tasked to review and provide advice to Government in regard to:
gas disruption emergency response;
gas supply security, both present and long term;
the potential for gas storage or alternative schemes to avoid gas supply
disruption or alleviate its effect; and
lessons learnt from the disruption in supplies from Varanus Island in 2008.
