Established on 19 April 2006, Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation (MAC) is the body corporate for the Burrup and Maitland Industrial Estate Agreement (BMIEA) and administers contractual obligations under the terms of the BMIEA.
Representing Murujuga’s five groups who are the Traditional Owners and Custodians for Murujuga – the Yaburara. Ngarluma, Yindjibarndi, Mardudhunera, and Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo – MAC acts on behalf of its 1,200-plus Members. MAC brings together the five groups to speak with one voice and to work together to protect land and sea country, and to achieve positive economic outcomes for its Members and their future generations.
The five groups are collectively known as Ngarda-Ngarli and have been part of the cultural landscape for tens of thousands of years.
Murujuga National Park was created in 2013 and is the first national park in Western Australia to be co-managed, with MAC sharing management responsibilities with the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation and Attractions (DBCA). MAC is working in partnership with the state and federal governments and other stakeholders to achieve World Heritage Listing for the Murujuga Cultural Landscape in recognition of its outstanding universal (Aboriginal cultural) value.
