Dampier to Bunbury Gas Pipeline

 The Dampier to Bunbury Natural Gas Pipeline (DBNGP) is the longest natural gas pipeline in Australia. It is 660mm in diameter, which also makes it one of Australia's largest in terms of transmission capacity. At the time of its commissioning in 1984, it was one of the longest gas pipelines in the world. 

 It supplies gas to industrial, commercial and residential customers in Perth and major regional centres along the pipeline route.
