  2. A Vision for the Kimberley

  3. Back to the Big picture! • Browse Gas development is of international significance • Browse Gas will be part of providing energy security to major cities in China, Japan, Taiwan and probably Perth • The gas companies are required by Government to develop the resource • Both the Commonwealth and State Government support the development of the Browse Gas Basin. • The NDT is charged with finding a processing option that provides net environmental, conservation and indigenous benefits outcomes.

  4. Who decides if Browse proceeds? • Industry ultimately makes the Final Decision to proceed with a project or not and where and when. • The State and Commonwealth have approvals powers over sites proposed for development • The Traditional Owners are being asked for their “informed Consent” no means no site in the Kimberley.

  5. The “other” options • It is not an option if industry doesn’t see it as an option • Woodside has Five options • Inpex has Two options • Shell has FLNG • Industry are likely to make a decision on options by October • NDT is not seeking to compare these options to the Kimberley option until we understand the Traditional Owner position on gas development • A “new” NDT process would be needed to assess the impacts of the alternative options

  6. The NDT process • Building up of critical information over time (approx 5 years) • Fatal flaw analysis (Technical, Environmental and Indigenous) • Site specific environmental and heritage studies • Regional Impact studies • Strategic Assessment (comparison of options) • Approvals and conditions • Continued research and monitoring

  7. Post workshop process • Workshop outcomes to be compiled into second NDT report • Completion of GIS mapping of data and constraints • NDT, KLC, Industry and independent analysis of data and constraints • Reporting of outcomes • Public comment • EPA/DEWHA opinion

  8. Thank You!! • The Traditional Owners and KLC • The presenters • Tom and workshop team • NDT team
