Responded by
Leader of the House representing the Minister for State Development
Response time
41 days
Department of State Development advises:
(1-4) All reports associated with the Browse LNG Precinct Project are and will be made available on the website of the Department of State Development as public documents so that they may be examined by any party wishing to submit comments on the draft Strategic Assessment Report (draft SAR) during the 8-week public comment period scheduled in mid-2010.
The list of proposed studies is included in the scoping document titled 'Kimberley LNG Precinct - Scope of the Strategic Assessment' which is available on the Department of State Development website. As studies are completed they will feed into various Impact Assessment Modules which will be attached as appendices to the draft SAR.
These documents will be released for assessment during the public comment period, as is the normal practice with any Environmental Impact Study.
As there are many thousands of pages of other documents it is not possible to comment on their availability in the event an application is made under the
Freedom of Information Act 1992
.
