Rock art monitoring in Western Australia’s north was being done without “integrity, diligence or governance”, a Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation employee wrote.
An employee at Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation warned board members last July over “defects and disconnects” in a monitoring program key to the bid for world heritage listing for the world’s largest and oldest rock art gallery.
“Due to these defects and disconnects, there is a loss of traction on the objectives to achieve world’s best standard of monitoring and management of the severity of the threat posed by anthropogenic airborne emissions.” Calibre in turn has subcontracted Curtin University to carry out the monitoring, with Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation due to take over in 2026.
He said the Murujuga Circle of Elders, the corporation’s board and senior heritage advisors had close oversight of all the scientific work and were regularly briefed on findings.“The Murujuga rock art monitoring program is a strong, best-practice program that has been designed with international experts to examine the impact of industrial emissions on Murujuga’s petroglyphs.”
The Department spokesman said Murujuga rangers were undergoing monitoring training through “micro-credential” training units.
