Western Yilgarn NL and Yued Aboriginal Corporation sign heritage protection agreements

Media statement

Protecting and caring for the cultural heritage of Yued Boodja is a core function of Yued Aboriginal Corporation, representing Yued interests across the coastal MidWest and inland.

A wide range of people and companies seeking to access land for various types of projects are looking for certainty about how to work with Yued to reduce the risk of inappropriate or harmful use of land.

That’s why Yued Aboriginal Corporation developed its Yued Heritage Protection Agreement (YHPA), which establishes the processes by which consideration is given to activities planned by project proponents.

Under a YHPA, proponents submit their planned Activity Notice which is considered by YAC’s Cultural Advice Committee (CAC). The CAC then provides advice to YAC’s management team on how to best ensure that cultural heritage is identified and protected.

“The Yued Heritage Protection Agreement is the best way for proponents to get certainty and make sure they don’t inadvertently harm Yued cultural heritage.

“Western Yilgarn gets it. This is good business and builds respectful relationships.”

Comments attributable to Peter Michael, Non-Executive Director, Western Yilgarn NL

"The Yued Heritage Protection Agreement is a straightforward agreement that we believe will enable Western Yilgarn NL (ASX:WYX) to carry out their program while respecting and protecting Yued cultural heritage."
