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 Highest Astronomical Tide, Lowest Astronomical Tide
4and Mean Sea Level.
5There is no knowledge of the return period for this event. The
6modelling methodology, assumptions and data sources which are
7required to determine the impact to Onslow have also
8been described.
9As discussed in Section \ref{sec:issues}, it is imperative
10that the best available data is used to increase confidence
11in the inundation maps. It is not yet clear what onshore grid resolution
12is required.
13These scenarios will be revisited once the probabilistic models
14are complete so that a suite of tsunami impact assessments can be made.

16Future activities to support the impact studies on the North West Shelf
17include:
18
19\begin{itemize}
20\item Sourcing of data sets,
21\item Investigation of solution sensitivity to cell resolution,
22bathymetry and tsunami source uncertainties,
23\item Location of boundary for simulation study area, and
24\item Investigation of friction coefficients.
