The Project team would like to acknowledge the Kungarakan and Warai, the Traditional Custodians of the lands on which the Rum Jungle site is located. We wish to pay our respects to their Elders and extend that respect to their descendants, past, present, and emerging.
Overview of the Rum Jungle Rehabilitation Project
The Rum Jungle site is 105 kilometres south of Darwin by road, near Batchelor in the Northern Territory.
Rum Jungle Rehabilitation project | Department of Industry, Tourism and Trade
History
The Rum Jungle Project area comprises three land parcels from the former Rum Jungle Uranium Field. Uranium and copper exploration, mining, and milling activities occurred in the area from 1953 to 1971, and the site underwent remediation works from 1982 to 1986. The 1980s rehabilitation effort, at the time, was considered to be at the forefront of mine rehabilitation and successfully reduced copper and AMD impacts on the Finniss River by approximately 70%. By modern standards, however, more can be done to improve environmental and cultural rehabilitation outcomes.
The Northern Territory Government has been working with the Commonwealth since 2009 to develop a rehabilitation design in consultation with the Warai and Kungarakan traditional owners. The Main Project area contains Sacred Sites that are significant to Custodians, and as such, the restoration of cultural values onsite forms a part of the Project's high-level objectives alongside environmental remediation.
Project Objectives and Outcomes
The rehabilitation work will be packaged to increase opportunities for Territory business involvement and to create participation opportunities for Aboriginal Territorians. This will ensure the rehabilitation of the Rum Jungle site maximises Value for the Territory and aligns with the cultural values of the Traditional Owners. A summary of the project objectives and outcomes is attached in the Project Documents Section.
Opportunities for Territory Businesses
The NT Government is committed to supporting businesses that provide opportunities to local contractors and suppliers who provide employment and training opportunities to Territorians.
The Project team seeks to maximise participation opportunities for local businesses in Batchelor, Coomalie Shire and the Darwin area. We look forward to receiving registrations of interest from local industry and businesses including details of the services you can offer. All information will be collated and made available to prospective companies tendering for any work package.
This Project is fully funded, with a total projected timeframe for delivery of the key work packages over ten years. Some water treatment and monitoring activities will continue beyond that timeframe. The Stage 3 work program is intended to maximise the likelihood of NT businesses being able to bid competitively and participate in the delivery of works.
Express interest to be notified of any updates or opportunities that may arise.
