Who we are
DISRUPT BURRUP HUB is a direct action campaign fighting to protect climate and culture from Woodside and other dirty polluters who operate at Murujuga on the Burrup Peninsula.
We demand an end to industrial expansion on the Burrup. We oppose Woodside's plans to exploit the new Scarborough and Browse fossil gas fields.
We come from a range of backgrounds: parents, students, teachers, artists, medical professionals and more.
Our actions are nonviolent, and we are committed to protecting life.
DISRUPT BURRUP HUB is one campaign in a global civil resistance movement demanding urgent action on the climate crisis.
We are standing up to Woodside for its crimes against humanity. We invite you to join us.
Murujuga
Murujuga is a significant heritage site for all of humanity and a deeply sacred place for First Nations custodians in Western Australia's Pilbara region.
The Murujuga cultural landscape contains the world's oldest and largest collection of Aboriginal rock art, with more than a million engravings.
This priceless cultural treasure is currently nominated for UNESCO World Heritage listing, but the sacred songlines and stories contained in these carvings are being damaged by emissions from the Burrup Hub and face total destruction within decades.
Woodside has previously been responsible for the destruction of around 5,000 sacred rock art sites in the construction of earlier parts of its Burrup Hub mega-project, including the Karratha Gas Plant and Pluto LNG processing facility.

The Burrup Hub
The Burrup Hub is a highly polluting, inter-connected network of industrial developments built at Murujuga on the Burrup Peninsula.
It already consists of Woodside's North West Shelf project, Woodside's Pluto facility, and Yara’s fertiliser plants.
Perdaman is constructing a urea development at Murujuga. Woodside has begun construction on the new Scarborough gas project and is now pushing for approvals for the biggest and dirtiest component of the Burrup Hub: Browse.
Woodside also plans to process fossil gas from other onshore and offshore gas developments at the Burrup Hub, possibly including from proposed fracking projects in the Kimberley region.
The Burrup Hub is projected to produce more than 6 billion tons of CO2 by 2070, making it four times larger than the Adani coal mine and one of the biggest carbon bombs in the world.
As people around the world feel the intensifying impacts of the climate crisis, it's time to end new fossil fuel projects like Woodside's Burrup Hub.
