A Review of Archaeology and Rock Art in the Dampier Archipelago
A review of archaeology and rock art in the Dampier Archipelago A report prepared for the National Trust of Australia (WA) Caroline Bird and Sylvia J. Hallam September 2006 Final draft Forward As this thoughtful and readable survey makes clear, the Burrup Peninsula and adjacent islands merit consideration as an integrated cultural landscape. Instead, the Western Australian government is sacrificing it to proclaimed industrial necessity that could have been located in a less destructive area. Before being systematically recorded, this ancient art province is divided in piecemeal fashion. Consequently, sites that are not destroyed by development become forlorn islands in an industrial complex. Twenty-five years ago the Australian Heritage Commission already had noted the region’s potential for World Heritage nomination. Today, State and corporate authorities lobby to prevent its listing even as a National Heritage place! This is shameful treatment for an area containing perhaps the densest concentration of engraved motifs in the world. The fact that even today individual motifs are estimated vaguely to number between 500,000 and one million reflects the scandalous government failure to sponsor an exhaustive survey before planned industrial expansion. It is best described as officially sanctioned cultural vandalism, impacting upon both Indigenous values and an irreplaceable heritage for all Australians. Instead of assigning conservation priorities, since 1980 more than 1800 massive engraved rocks have been wrenched from their context and sited close to a fertilizer plant. The massive gas complex, its expansion approved, sits less than a kilometre from a unique, deeply weathered engraved panel, certainly one of Australia’s most significant ancient art survivors. -

The Natural History and Cultural Heritage of the Karratha District
The Natural History and Cultural Heritage of the Karratha District Aboriginal Culture and Heritage Archaeological dating suggests that Aboriginal people have inhabited the Pilbara region for the past 40,000 years. Discoveries in other parts of Australia suggest they arrived on the continent sometime between 45,000 and 60,000 years ago. By the time Europeans settled in Australia, the whole of the continent had been occupied, from the deserts to the high mountains, with people speaking several hundred languages and associated with tribal territories. The evidence of their past lives and activities are present throughout the landscape and comprise a significant cultural heritage asset. Aboriginal culture and land tenure are inextricably interwoven with the creation period known as ‘the Dreaming’. According to Aboriginal belief, mythic beings traversed the country performing heroic deeds, creating physical features, plants and Pansy Hicks on Ngarluma Ngurra Photo by Sharmila Wood 2013 animals, and providing a moral basis for Aboriginal alliances. Ties of marriage influence associations social institutions. Many parts of the landscape between different tribal groups, with some members remain as testament to these ancestral beings spending extended periods outside their own territory, whose spiritual essence resides in places and particularly when going to their spouse’s homeland. objects fundamental to the continued well being and order of the social and natural world.

EPBC Act Referral
Submission #3836 - Scarborough Development nearshore component Title of Proposal - Scarborough Development nearshore component Section 1 - Summary of your proposed action Provide a summary of your proposed action, including any consultations undertaken. 1.1 Project Industry Type Mining 1.2 Provide a detailed description of the proposed action, including all proposed activities. The Scarborough gas field is located 380 km west-north-west of the Burrup Peninsula in the north-west of Australia. Woodside Energy Ltd (Woodside) will be the development operator, with BHP Billiton Petroleum (North West Shelf) Pty Ltd (BHP) as joint venture participant. The Scarborough gas field development (Scarborough Project) includes drilling of a number of subsea gas wells (which includes wells in the Scarborough, Thebe and Jupiter reservoirs) but may also include additional future tiebacks. Wells will be tied-back to a semi-submersible Floating Production Unit (FPU) moored in approximately 900 m of water, over the Scarborough field. The FPU topsides has processing facilities for gas dehydration and compression to transport the gas through an approximately 430 km trunkline to the Woodside-operated Pluto Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) facility on the Burrup Peninsula. Woodside is proposing the brownfield expansion of Pluto LNG to process third-party gas. Which will require brownfield expansion to process the Scarborough gas. The Proposal, subject of this referral under the Environment Protection and Biodiversity Conservation Act 1999 (EPBC Act) and the WA Environmental Protection Act 1986 (EP Act), is defined as the State waters components of the Scarborough Project. A detailed scope of the Proposal is presented in Section 2 of the Scarborough Project Nearshore Component Supplementary Report. -

Our oceans play a massive role in Australian life – they provide us with fish to eat, a place to fish, business and tourism opportunities and a place for families to enjoy. Australians know, better than anyone, how important it is that our oceans remain healthy and sustainable. Right now, our iconic marine environment is coming under more and more pressure from industry, from pollution and, increasingly, from climate change. That is why the Australian Government has committed to creating a network of Commonwealth marine reserves around the country. -
