Dampier

Australia has not produced urea fertiliser domestically since Instatec Pivot Limited ended its Brisbane operation in 2022.

Perturban began construction of its facility on the Pilbara's Burrup Peninsula near Dampier in early 2023 to fill the gap in the market.

Our first year financial planning of fertilizer is minimum 1 million ton.

But what I heard from my team recently, off-taker is talking about 1.6 million ton will distribute locally.

and current emissions are not speeding up deterioration.

The Burr Peninsula, just near Dampier, is home to heavy industry, including a fertiliser plant and Woodside's North West Shelf Gas Project, and also sits alongside one of the world's largest collections of ancient rock art.

Kimberly Putland has this story.

The Moorojuga Rock Art Monitoring Project studies the impact of industry emissions on ancient rock art on the Barrett Peninsula in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

It worked.

Over the past few days, the Normand Ranger's convoy got Ship 40 secured, built up speed, and towed it all the way in toward Dampier in Western Australia.

As of this week, SpaceX has recovered the ship.

Three weeks adrift, and they actually brought it home.
