� What say will Traditional Owners have in creating management plans?
With reference to the commitments under the Heads of Agreement that will be formalised
in the Indigenous Land Use Agreement, Woodside will be required to develop
management plans to be agreed with the State, the KLC and Traditional Owners dealing
with the following matters:
� Cultural heritage;
� Environment;
� Training and employment; and
� Business development and contracting.
Under the Heads of Agreement, Woodside has also committed to the establishment of
and LNG Management Committee which will be made up of representatives of the State,
Traditional Owners, Woodside and any other proponents. The Committee would monitor
compliance with commitments in the management plans and the broader ILUA.
Typically there arenít separate management plans for different seasons but if there are
different measures to be considered due to the different seasons, these can be included
in the relevant management plan.
