9  CCS project plan must accompany section 22 application
 (1) A section 22 application for a carbon capture and storage project must be accompanied by the CCS project plan for the project.
 (2) The CCS project plan for a carbon capture and storage project is a document that outlines aspects of the implementation of the project, including (but not limited to) the following:
 (a) information about each relevant authority required for the project, including information about each relevant authority required for the project that has been obtained;
 (b) a brief summary of the overall project operations, including the installation and operation of:
               (i) equipment to capture greenhouse gases at capture points to be used by the project; and
               (ii) equipment to process captured greenhouse gases; and
               (iii) equipment to transport greenhouse gases from capture points to each storage site proposed to be used in the project;
 (c) a detailed description of the location and characteristics of each storage site to be used by the project, including its suitability for permanently storing the greenhouse gases injected into the storage site and the estimated capacity of the storage site;
 (d) a detailed description of how each storage site to be used by the project will be operated, including a description of the composition of the greenhouse gases that will be injected into the storage site and how they will be injected;
 (e) a detailed description of the location of the injection points to be used by the project to inject greenhouse gases into each storage site and how they will be managed and monitored;
 (f) a detailed description of the location and nature of the capture points to be used by the project and, where a capture point relates to greenhouse gases extracted from a hydrocarbon field, a detailed description of the location of the hydrocarbon field;
 (g) a detailed description of the processing, transport or pipeline infrastructure to be used by the project for processing and transporting greenhouse gases between one or more capture points and a storage site;
 (h) details of the steps to be taken to ensure that greenhouse gases stored in a storage site will be permanently stored;
 (i) a detailed description of how any risk of release of the greenhouse gases to the atmosphere from a storage site will be managed;
 (j) an outline of how monitoring of a storage site, and reporting about that monitoring, will be undertaken;
 (k) if multiple parties are involved in the project, a description of the project responsibilities of each party to the project;
 (l) information about any workplace health and safety plan covering the operations of the project that is required by or under any Commonwealth, State or Territory law
