#Australia - Concerns over #GreatArtesianBasin water impacts in new #BHP agreement
By Kathryn Bermingham, Thomas Kelsall
Sun 14 JunExcerpt: "#Environmentalists and #FirstNations groups say a new agreement between the #SouthAustralian government and BHP, set to be passed by state parliament this week, does not do enough to end water extraction from the Great Artesian Basin.
"They also say their concerns have not been taken seriously and that they have been shut out of the consultation process.
"The government announced last month it would introduce a bill to 'modernise' the #OlympicDam indenture — a legislated contract with BHP that governs mining operations.
"The updated indenture broadens BHP's #mining lease and removes caps on #copper production, paving the way for a potential major expansion.
"It also addresses water access, stipulating that BHP must stop drawing water from its Great Artesian Basin Wellfield A by 2036.
"But it allows continued access to BHP's other #wellfield, despite the concerns of #TraditionalOwners and environmentalists that extraction is damaging the local mound springs."

#Australia - ‘Gone forever’: political anger after #NSW #Aboriginal #HeritageSite bulldozed for power lines
The #RockShelter was destroyed by contractors building #TransmissionLines for the Central-West Orana #RenewableEnergyZone

Wed 27 May 2026"#Indigenous community members have described their shock and anger after an Aboriginal rock shelter was 'damaged beyond recovery' by contractors building transmission lines for a #NewSouthWales renewable energy zone.
"The #HeritageSite was destroyed by bulldozers in March during the construction of access tracks for the #CentralWestOrana renewable energy zone, a transmission line project located about 300km north-west of #Sydney.
"The network company #Acerez, engaged by the state government to design, build and operate the infrastructure project, discovered the damage in May while undertaking due diligence checks.
"A company spokesperson said processes to protect the shelter 'were not fully implemented'.
" 'We are deeply sorry and apologise without reservation to the #TraditionalOwners and to the local community,' they said."
