In exchange for surrendering and permanently extinguishing their native title rights and interests to the Burrup and Maitland Industrial land, the three Aboriginal native title parties (being the Ngarluma-Yindjibarndi, the Yaburara Mardudhunera and the Wong-Goo-Tt-Oo), received a range of benefits from the WA Government which included freehold title and joint management of Murujuga National Park with the State Government through the Department of Biodiversity, Conservation, and Attractions – Parks and Wildlife Service.
