1This report has described the impact to Onslow from a tsunami
2generated by a Mw 9 earthquake on the Sunda Arc subduction zone
3occurring at Mean Sea Level.
4There is no knowledge of the return period for this event. The
5modelling methodology, assumptions and data sources which are
6required to determine the impact to Onslow have also
7been described.
8As discussed in Section \ref{sec:issues}, there are issues
9with the underlying data set which may have vertical inaccuracies
10of approximately 1-2m. As a result, these results should be considered
11preliminary.
12These scenarios will be revisited once the probabilistic models
13are complete so that a suite of tsunami impact assessments can be made.
14It is therefore imperative that suitably accurate onshore data
15be made available to raise confidence in the impact assessments.

17Future activities to support the impact studies on the North West Shelf
18include:
19
20\begin{itemize}
21\item Sourcing of data sets
22\item Investigation of solution sensitivity to cell resolution,
23bathymetry and tsunami source uncertainties
24\item Location of boundary for simulation study area
25\item Investigation of friction coefficients
26\end{itemize}
