Palm Valley gas agreement renewed The Central Land Council has renewed an agreement for the operation of the Palm Valley Gas Field on Aboriginal land near Hermannsburg in Central Australia . The CLC and Western Arrernte traditional owners signed the agreement with joint partners Magellan Petroleum and Santos Ltd at the gas field today. The field is operated by Magellan. The 21 year-old agreement for the area recently expired and the new agreement gives immediate opportunities for three local men to train and work on a drilling program on the gas field. CLC director David Ross said he welcomed all opportunities which gave local Aboriginal people employment opportunities. "These young fellas will now gain transferable skills on the drilling program," he said. "We can only applaud when a company gives Aboriginal people, from remote areas and without stable work histories, the chance to earn a wage and get some training. It is through these types of actions that the local economy will be transformed and the CLC wishes the companies all the best for their future explorations. The agreement was negotiated under the Aboriginal Land Rights Act ( Northern Territory ) 1976.
