This Extinction Rebellion WA campaign targets Woodside's Scarborough gas development.
This campaign called on WA Premier Colin Barnett (and Labor Leader Mark McGowan) to follow through on a promise to propose Burrup Peninsula to be given World Heritage status. At the same time it calls for Barnett to relocate YARA’s TAN plant to the Maitland Industrial estate
This campaign focussed on stopping the Scarborough Gas project from going ahead. Tactics were focussed on putting pressure on Woodside, for example through the "Wake Up Woodside" actions.
Scarborough is one of the dirtiest new fossil fuel projects currently planned in Australia. It will release as much pollution as 20,000 flights around the world every day, for the next 25 years. If the world is going to avoid catastrophic climate change, new gas mining projects like Scarborough can’t go ahead.
Scarborough Gas Action Alliance are taking action against the Woodside-led, heritage-destroying Scarborough gas project.
