Archaeology and rock art in the Dampier Archipelago header
 

Key elements of a solution are;

  • open and transparent communication with all stakeholders;

  • comprehensive inventory of the rock art and archaeological sites of the area;

  • the development of a single holistic management plan and a means to monitor the management of the place to the satisfaction of all stakeholders that will meet the requirements of National heritage listing and World heritage listing;

  • dedicated fund to support  the management process;

  • independent committee to oversee the implementation and evaluation of the management plan.

The National Trust believes that a win/ win solution is possible that will genuinely reconcile the competing interests of industrial development and the undoubted world heritage significances of this place.
