Two maps have been updated for RET to include in a Ministerial Breifing on the Northern Territory conferral to NOPSEMA for regulation of offshore petroleum activities in their designated coastal waters. The updates reflect the amended OPGGS Act definition of designated coastal waters. These maps relate to Geocat 81958. Not for public release. RET internal use only.

Three maps have been created for RET to include in a Ministerial Briefing on changes to act relating to the area of opperation of NOPSEMA Relates to Advice Register Number 705 Not for public release. RET internal use only.

Community risk within the local government authority is investigated for: tropical cyclones and storm tide, east coast lows, thunderstorms, tropical cyclones and severe wind, flood, earthquake, landslide, heat wave and bushfire. Magnitude/returne period scenarios are developed and impact on communities investigated.

Development of coal mines and coal seam gas (CSG) resources can significantly impact groundwater systems, hydrogeological processes and the surface environment. Consequently, a sound understanding of basin-scale hydrogeology Is critical to developing effective water management strategies. The Australian Government Department of Sustainability, Environment, Water, Population and Communities recently funded investigation of the potential impacts of the development of coal mining and CSG production in several Australian coal basins. The Laura Basin was investigated as part of this program due to the significant environmental and cultural heritage values of the region which include several National Parks and the Great Barrier Reef Marine Park. The Laura Basin is a geological basin on Cape York Peninsula, QLD. There has been relatively limited development of the groundwater resources of the basin to date, which predominantly occur in Mesozoic sandstone units, the Dalrymple Sandstone and the Gilbert River Formation, which are contiguous with the Great Artesian Basin rocks of the Carpentaria Basin.
