PARTNERS of the PNG Gas project will present an environmental plan to the PNG government today, according to project public affairs manager Cliff Leggoe.

They will also release the project's environmental impact statement to the Australian federal government, Mr Leggoe told a gathering at Parliament on Wednesday night.

The presentations will mark another step forward in the K2 billion project, which is aiming to pump dry PNG gas into the Queensland market by 2001.

Mr Leggoe was speaking at the launching of a PNG Gas project display at Parliament. The display was organised at the invitation of parliament speaker John Pundari.

Mr Pundari told guests the display provided an ideal opportunity for parliamentarians to equip themselves with information on the project and allow informed debate on the
floor of parliament.

He said he observed during debate on the gas project and most other major projects in the country that many MPs did not have enough information to contribute
constructively.

This view was backed by other MPs who were present at the launch Gulf Governor Riddler Kimave, Angoram MP Arthur Somare, Komo-Magarima MP Alfred Kaiabe and
Southern Highlands Governor Anderson Agiru.

The display contains information about the PNG Gas project and Chevron Niugini officials were on hand to answer queries from MPs.

''This project means a lot to the future of Papua New Guinea and it is beneficial for MPs to have first hand information about the project,'' Mr Pundari said. ''There is
generally a lack of basic knowledge about major projects, including this one, and getting the information would enable MPs to have an informed debate about the project.''
