Perdaman's multi-billion dollar fertiliser plant is expected to start construction on the Burrup Peninsula within two months. But traditional owners fear it will destroy the world's oldest and largest rock art collection.
, said the plant was supported by the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation , which she said represented the views of most traditional owners in the area.Vikas Rambal says construction of the fertiliser plant is expected to begin by late October."It gives us the certainty. It gives us, my banks, my financiers who were very nervous, [some reassurance].Mr Rambal said the result showed strength in the state and federal environmental and heritage approval systems.
"The location is very important for this project because we are competing with the international world," he said. "Mining and industry and government work hand in hand, and it's been proved time and time again. And our voices are never heard."Mr Rambal said his company had worked extensively with MAC's Circle of Elders in relation to several sacred sites, which will be relocated from Murujuga to make way for the plant.
