Environmental Insights from the North West Shelf Gas Project: A Hindsight Perspective

This study by Colin Roberts from CEPMLP, University of Dundee, examines the environmental impacts of the North West Shelf Gas Project in Australia. It explores geographical features, regional ecosystems, and the implications of various environmental management practices. The report utilizes historical environmental assessments, analyzing key legislations such as the Environmental Protection Act, and assesses marine and terrestrial ecology. Roberts emphasizes the socio-economic impacts and the importance of Aboriginal heritage in project planning while advocating for improved environmental awareness among workers.
