the environmental and social impacts of a port at either location. The economic analysis also considered the regional and state-wide impacts of expanding the container port or changing its location. All of these impacts were assessed together in a multi- criteria assessment, a commonly used tool for assessing quantitative and qualitative indicators of environmental, economic, social and amenity impacts.

An overview of how we prepared our advice is shown in figure 2.
