50,000 years of heritage. 36% of the world's iron ore. The same country.
Western Australia holds Aboriginal heritage going back at least 50,000 years. The state is also home to one of the world's largest resource economies — producing around a third of the world's iron ore and almost half of Australia's merchandise exports.
The two share the same ground. The work is to care for both.
HeritageCheck.AI is built for the people who care for and work this ground — Native Title holders and Aboriginal PBCs, landowners, prospectors, operators, consultants, government. At any scale, the platform helps you do your part.
Heritage expertise. In your pocket.
Complex. Layered. Easy to get wrong.
WA's Aboriginal heritage rules cover any work on the land — and getting them wrong has real consequences. Our AI assistant breaks them down. Ask it about your situation in plain English; you'll get a plain-English answer about what applies and where to start.
Compliance intelligence to start your due diligence.
Recommended: run a heritage check at your bore site first, then call Yugunga-Nya for a courtesy enquiry before you break ground. Their heritage line is (08) 6146 2503. I can draft a written follow-up for you using their verified details.Source: AHA 1972 s.17 + NNTT Yugunga-Nya determination (2021)
A small job can have a six-figure consequence.
In 2018, Toodyay farmer Tony Maddox concreted a small creek crossing on his own property. He did not know the location was registered as an Aboriginal site. He was prosecuted under Section 17 of the Aboriginal Heritage Act 1972.
“A 30-second check before he started would have changed everything.”
HeritageCheck.AI exists because most landholders, prospectors, and small operators in WA never get told they have heritage obligations until it's too late. We give you the answer in under a minute — and the paper trail you need if it ever comes up.
Murujuga: a landscape recognised by the world.
The Murujuga Cultural Landscape, on Western Australia's Burrup Peninsula, holds between one and two million Aboriginal petroglyphs — one of the world's largest collections of rock art. In July 2025 it was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List, the highest international recognition of cultural and natural significance.
The landscape is cared for today by the Murujuga Aboriginal Corporation, on behalf of the five Traditional Owner language groups of the area (collectively, the Ngarda-Ngarli).
“A landscape continuously meaningful to its people across many generations.”
The site sits alongside major LNG and fertiliser plants, and independent studies have raised concerns about the effects of industrial emissions on the rock art. HeritageCheck.AI exists to help operators understand the heritage context of any work on country — at any scale, from a single tenement to a multi-stage development.
