Narrabundah – Hume Primary Main Extension (NHP)
Capacity to deliver approximately 30,000 scmh needs to be introduced into the gas distribution networks in Queanbeyan and surrounding areas over the next 20 years to supply demand for the areas of Jerrabomberra, Queanbeyan, Fyshwick, Hume and the proposed new developments at Googong and Tralee. To cater to this growth, ActewAGL plan to construct a new 5 km primary main and a new Primary Regulating Station (PRS) at Hume.
The new primary main will extend from the existing Jerrabomberra Package Off-take Station (POTS) at Narrabundah to a junction at the corner of Lanyon Drive and Monaro Highway at Hume. The planned location of Hume PRS is in Section 18, north of Lanyon Drive, east of the Monaro Highway and south of the new SES training facilities.
Together, these facilities will ultimately supply natural gas to approximately 25,000 customers in the areas of Jerrabomberra, Queanbeyan, Fyshwick, Hume, and the future proposal developments of Googong and Tralee. In addition, they will provide long-term capacity for prospective large consumers in Hume and provide a long-term supply into the Hume – Tuggeranong Interconnection (HTI).
