QuestionView source ↗

I refer to the proposed development at Lot 50 in Exmouth, with the proponents being Exmouth Limestone Pty Ltd (the lessee) and Ezion Holdings, a wholly owned and based Singapore company, the developer and lessor, and I ask -
(1) Who are the traditional custodians of the land, and what consultation has there been between Ezion Holdings, and them on moving the development from a five hectare clearing of land to 18 hectares of land?
(2) Has Ezion Holdings consulted with the traditional custodians on the building of a marine supply base in Exmouth?
(3) If no to (2), why not?

(1) The land in question is within Native Title Claim area (WC97/28) for the Gnulli people represented by the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation. Lot 50 Murat Rd was included in Aboriginal heritage surveys in 1995 with local Traditional Owners. No Aboriginal heritage values were identified. There is no requirement for consultation in relation to the
Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
Consultation in this case is a Native Title matter.
(2) Not applicable.
(3) Not applicable.
