❓ Mr. Zempilas inquires about the Clean Energy Future Fund grants awarded to the Northern Star Carosue Dam and Mungari Mill projects, seeking details on grant amounts, job creation, project status, and carbon emission reductions. The response details the completed Nomadic Energy project and the withdrawn ResourcesWA project.

I refer to the Northern Star Carosue Dam gold mine project operated by Nomadic Energy as well as the Mungari Mill site in Goldfields operated by ResourcesWA, both of which received grants as part of Round 1 of the Clean Energy Future Fund and I ask:(a) What was the total grant awarded for each project in dollar terms;(b) How many construction jobs were directly created by each project;(c) Are both these projects completed and operational:(i) if yes, on what date did was each of them completed and became operational; and(ii) if not, why not and when will each of them be completed and become operational; and(d) What was the total number of carbon emissions reduced as part of each project?

(a)-(d) The total grant awarded for the Nomadic Energy project was $1,045,744. The project has been completed and commenced operations in March 2022. The grant recipient has estimated that the project reduced emissions by approximately 5,700 tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent per annum and created 11 construction jobs. The ResourcesWA project was withdrawn by the grant recipient in February 2026 prior to project completion.
