In partnership with the locals, every step of the way

The Gumatj Corporation, the traditional owners of the land on which the ASC is located, were integral in bringing the spaceport to the region for the benefit of the local Yolngu people through jobs, education and training. Their deep knowledge of country, and advice and support for safe recovery operations, has been critical to ensure we leverage our location but also tread lightly on the land.

Creating jobs for the community

At every stage of the spaceport's construction and operation, we've aimed to provide jobs, contracts and to utilise local businesses and tradespeople - boosting the local economy and growing a space ecosystem.
