A Western Australia government minister, Eric Ripper, has stated that:
"an Indigenous Heritage Management Plan is being developed to protect the heritage values of the entire Dampier Archipelago. It offers a multi-user approach to managing the Indigenous cultural heritage of the Dampier Archipelago and will provide a way forward to proactively manage the area in accordance with identified national heritage values." - whatever that means!
He goes on to say "We strongly believe that it is possible for industry and heritage to coexist in the Dampier Archipelago", which he would do as "The region is also one of Australia’s most important industrial areas. It is rich in natural gas, iron ore and a range of other minerals and provides a safe harbour, access to deep water and existing infrastructure."
