It was recommended that stakeholders be further engaged to refine and agree on the population health indicators before finalizing an implementable monitoring plan. • Social, Cultural, and Economic - the baseline and strategic assessments identified four main themes which reflect widely held aspirations for the future and community values: safe and sustainable (and coordinated) development; strong communities; maintaining and enhancing connection to land and culture; and informed and fair local participation. There are now more protections in place for groundwater than ever before, not just in the Beetaloo region but across the entire Northern Territory. The government announced gas and oil companies will be able to make an application for onshore gas production projects, which will be regulated by one of the most robust frameworks in Australia.
