Protecting cultural heritage is fundamental to how Yindjibarndi Energy Corporation (YEC) operates.
Yindjibarndi Ngurra holds deep cultural, spiritual and historical significance. As Traditional Owners, the Yindjibarndi people have an enduring responsibility to protect cultural places, knowledge and practices for current and future generations. These responsibilities guide how YEC plans, delivers and governs its projects.

All YEC projects are progressed with Yindjibarndi leadership and approval. Cultural heritage considerations are embedded in early planning, site selection and assessment processes to ensure that cultural values actively inform development decisions, rather than being considered as a separate or secondary matter.
YEC works closely with Yindjibarndi people to identify, protect and manage sites of cultural significance. This collaboration is formalised through a suite of binding agreements and plans that ensure Yindjibarndi people remain central to decision-making and site protection throughout the life of each project.
Yindjibarndi participation in cultural heritage surveys, assessments and studies supports the protection of Country’s cultural knowledge and intellectual property. This approach strengthens cultural continuity, builds intergenerational knowledge, and ensures that development proceeds in a way that respects Yindjibarndi law, culture and authority.
YEC is committed to building lasting, respectful relationships and delivering sustainable energy projects that honour and protect Yindjibarndi cultural heritage.
Yindjibarndi Energy acknowledges the Traditional Custodians of Australia, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islanders, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present.
