For 11 years Buru Energy has had a proposal for a fracked gas pipeline from the Kimberley to the Pilbara lodged with the Federal Government under the E.P.B.C. act. On the 6th of November 2020 the proposal was withdrawn.
While the ‘spin’ has been that 98% of WA has been protected from fracking, the reality is that five million hectares of the State is now open to this polluting industry. Half the state’s fracking leases are in the Kimberley.
The Fitzroy River catchment, Roebuck Plains, La Grange and the Great Sandy Desert are all in the fracking firing line!
