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.

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.
Department ofIndustry and Resources 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
Department ofIndustry and Resources 6
The NDT process
