The Reedy Creek Wallumbilla Pipeline (RCWP) is a transmission pipeline located in south-east Queensland. APA Reedy Creek Wallumbilla Pty Limited (part of APA Group) owns and operates the transmission pipeline.
The RCWP is 48.5 km in length, has a nominal diameter of 450 mm and has a bi-directional capacity of 300 TJ/day (northern haul) and 520 TJ/day (southern haul). The RCWP connects the APA Group’s Wallumbilla Gas Hub to the Australia Pacific LNG Pipeline at Reedy Creek.
The RCWP is currently a non-scheme pipeline, and is subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under Part 10 of the National Gas Rules (NGR). It was previously subject to the access regime for non-scheme pipelines under the former Part 23 of the NGR, which was replaced by Part 10.
The RCWP became operational in May 2018 and was initially commissioned with 300TJ/d capacity for both Northern and Southern haul. In 2025, the Southern haul capacity increased to 520TJ/d with the new Senex connection.
On 30 November 2022, the AER granted a five year Category 2 exemption under Part 23 of the NGR. Due to reforms to the NGR, the exemption transitioned to a Category 2 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR.
On 22 January 2025, the AER revoked the Category 2 exemption under Part 10 of the NGR. The reason for the revocation is that the RCWP is not a single user pipeline as defined under the NGR.
