he Aboriginal population in Australia comprises more than 500,000 people and represents 2.5 percent of the national population. In the Northern Territory, where the Ichthys LNG Project processing facilities are being constructed, Aboriginal communi ties represent 40 percent of the population. The Ichthys LNG Project acknowledges Aboriginal people as the Traditional Owners of the land and water where the Projects facilities are being devel oped. As such, a policy and strategy have been devel oped to guide Project activity while taking into consid eration Aboriginal culture. Similarly, a memorandum was signed with the Larrakia people, the Traditional Owners of the land and water in and around Darwin, to demonstrate the Projects commitment to a relation ship that is built on a foundation of cooperation and mutual respect. Aboriginal Heritage Management Plans have been developed and the Project is working with the Larrakia people to appropriately manage and monitor Aboriginal cultural heritage during Project activities. An example of this is the requirement for Aboriginal heritage monitors to be present during all ground-disturbing activities. In 2013, we published our first Reconciliation Action Plan (RAP), a public document that outlines the companys commitments towards Aboriginal communities. The RAP has been developed around the three key thematic areas of relationships, respect and opportunities. Our RAP will be reviewed annu ally and our achievements made public.
