Department of State Development advises:
(a i-iii) Quantitative data is not available, however, the Department of State Development conducted a Browse LNG Precinct-level social impact assessment as an input to the Strategic Assessment Process under the agreement between the State and Commonwealth Governments.
Each proponent will also conduct a project specific assessment that will build on the available information.
The Department of State Development assessment, which includes modelling of potential development scenarios, is available on the Department's website.
(b) Not applicable.
