Darwin's $1.5bn Middle Arm Industrial Precinct project faces opposition due to environmental, health, cultural, and climate concerns.
The $1.5bn Middle Arm Industrial Precinct project in Darwin, Australia, faces opposition due to concerns about environmental and health damage, cultural heritage harm, and climate impact of expanding the gas industry. A Senate inquiry received 200 submissions but was unable to reach a unanimous set of recommendations, with critics arguing this funding effectively subsidises fossil fuels. The NT government supports the project, claiming it would be largely powered by renewables and support hydrogen and carbon-capture industries.
