Premier Colin Barnett today announced the next step in the development of a Kimberley Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) Precinct with the release of the Social Impact Assessment Scope and Profile report and a call for tenders to prepare and collate the overall strategic assessment report for the project.
“The State Government is committed to the development of an LNG precinct in the Kimberley that minimises potential impacts on the area while maximising opportunities for local people, businesses and employment,” Mr Barnett said.
“The baseline Social Impact Assessment document will help the project team gather further information from the local community on the potential impacts as well as provide affected communities with useful information from which to plan."
