What's happening

We have been engaging with key stakeholders; to gain access to lands so we can complete environmental and heritage surveys.

We recognise the importance of land and country to the local communities and will continue to work closely with Native Title holders to ensure our field investigations are completed appropriately.  

In addition, we have commenced discussions with Native Title holders to gain land access agreements to progress the next phase of construction. Timing of the procurement phase is still under development.

With road design for the last 100-kilometre section between Warakurna to WA/NT border being finalised, our design work is nearing completion.

In late-May, the project team participated in on-country community briefings, in conjunction with the Ngaanyatjarra Council Group (NGC), to four Great Central Road communities of Warburton, Warakurna, Wanarn and Kanpa.

Hear what our project director has to say about his experience in the communities in the below video from NGC:

Create

a new route for mine sites and businesses through middle Australia
