Description
This study, prepared as a part of a broader study for WA fisheries, is concerned with the regional economy of the West Kimberley region and involves an assessment of the impact on the region of a range of fishing industry scenarios associated with development of an LNG processing facility. Specific tasks involved in the study were to prepare the following:
• a standard input-output model for the West Kimberley regional economy for 2007/08 and extend it as a DECON model; and
• estimates of the regional economic and population impact for a range of fishing industry scenarios arising from the Kimberley LNG Project
Estimates of economic and population impact were based on a series of assumptions regarding the level of output, expenditure and employment in each fishing industry sector. Estimates of economic impact provide a statement of regional economic activity arising from the fishing industry scenarios and do not indicate whether the costs of changes in the level of activity outweigh the benefits.
