undertake natural gas underground storage processes and operations (including compression, dehydration and flow measurement, but excluding natural gas transmission pipelines); and
 (c) all the wellheads connected to the compression units located at the station that inject and recover natural gas into and from the underground reservoirs.
natural gas transmission means transmission of natural gas or plant condensate through one or more natural gas transmission pipelines from a natural gas processing station or a natural gas gathering and boosting network to any of the following:
  (a) a natural gas distribution network;
 (b) another natural gas processing station;
 (c) a liquefied natural gas station;
 (d) a large industrial facility, such as a power station.
natural gas transmission pipeline means a pipeline for the conveyance of pipeline natural gas or plant condensate that:
 (a) is licensed as a transmission pipeline under a Commonwealth, State or Territory law; and
 (b) has a maximum design pressure exceeding 1,050 kPa; and
 (c) is not a natural gas distribution pipeline or a natural gas gathering and boosting pipeline.
non‑gassy mine means an underground mine that has less than 0.1% methane in the mine's return ventilation.
non‑legacy waste means waste deposited at a landfill on or after 1 July 2016.
offshore natural gas production means the activity to produce, extract, recover, lift, stabilise, separate or treat unprocessed natural gas, condensate or coal seam methane on offshore submerged lands, including well workovers.
offshore platform includes:
 (a) any platform structure, affixed temporarily or permanently to offshore submerged lands, that houses plant and equipment to do either or both of the following:
 (i) extract unprocessed natural gas and condensate from the ocean or lake floor;
 (ii) transfers such unprocessed natural gas and condensate to storage, transport vessels, or onshore; and
 (b) secondary platform structures connected to the platform structure via walkways, and
 (c) storage tanks associated with the platform structure; and
 (d) floating production and storage offloading equipment; and
 (e) submerged wellhead production structures.
offshore platform (shallow water) means an offshore platform standing in less than 200 metres of water.
offshore platform (deep water) means an offshore platform standing in at least 200 metres of water.
oil or gas exploration and development means the activity to explore for oil and gas resources and test, appraise, drill, develop and complete wells for oil and gas resources and includes the following actions:
 (a) oil well drilling;
  (b) gas well drilling;
 (c) drill stem testing;
 (e) well appraisals;
 (f) development drilling;
 (g) well completions;
 (h) well workovers associated with the actions in the paragraphs above.
onshore natural gas production means the activity to produce, extract, recover, lift, stabilise, separate or treat unprocessed natural gas, condensate or coal seam methane on land, including well workovers.
