11 Australian fields and plants
Australian fields (1) A reference in this instrument to an Australian field is a reference to a field at which crude oil, condensate or liquefied petroleum gas is or was produced in Australia by a regulated entity. (2) A person who must give reports under subsection 11(2) of the Act in relation to covered activities at 2 or more Australian fields may treat the fields as being a single field if the fields: (a) are located in the same State, Territory or offshore area; and (b) are: (i) adjacent; or (ii) administered as a single production area or project. Australian plants (3) A reference in this instrument to an Australian biofuel plant is a reference to a plant at which transport biofuel is or was produced in Australia by a regulated entity. (4) A reference in this instrument to an Australian plant (non‑biofuel) is a reference to a plant at which plant product is or was processed in Australia by a regulated entity. Storage facilities (5) For the purposes of this instrument, a storage facility to which a covered product is delivered from an Australian field, Australian biofuel plant or Australian plant (non‑biofuel) is taken to be part of the field or plant, unless the delivery: (a) occurs because the covered product has been sold; or (b) involves exporting the covered product. (6) If a covered product is delivered to a storage facility as mentioned in subsection (5) from more than one field or plant, the fuel information in relation to the facility that would otherwise be required to be included in reports for each field or plant may be combined into a single report.
