Gomeroi people have cared for the sacred lands and waters of the Pillaga in North-West NSW since time immemorial.
Prevent this disaster
These lands are currently being threatened by Australian gas company Santos. They want to build 850 coal-seam gas wells over the next 20 years. This would be a disaster for the climate, the waters of the Great Artesian basin and many threatened species.
Attack on Gomeroi rights
In December 2022, the National Native Title Tribunal ruled in favour of an application from Santos to enforce the gas project despite Gomeori opposition. In March 2024, this decision was overturned by the Federal Court due to the failure of the Tribunal to properly consider the issue of climate change. Santos are still pressing ahead with their plans and will likely return to the Tribunal with a similar application. Gomeroi Ngaarr is an online portal for the campaign to stop this disgraceful attack.
Sovereignty has never been ceded.
