Traditional owners and environmentalists have pledged to continue fighting Woodside's massive North West Shelf (NWS) project by switching their focus to the development of the Browse Basin gas fields off WA's Kimberley coast. The groups have long argued Woodside's industrial developments pose a threat to the ancient rock art in the Murujuga National Park on the Burrup Peninsula. On Wednesday, the federal government approved the company's proposal to continue its NWS operation until 2070.

Parts of Western Australia's north are set for heavy rainfall over the weekend as tropical low 28U forms within the monsoon trough off the Kimberley coast. The Bureau of Meteorology (BOM) is warning there is a moderate chance of the low developing into a tropical cyclone as the week progresses. The system is expected to cross the north-west Kimberley coast north of the Dampier Peninsula on Friday afternoon or evening and continue in a south-easterly direction towards Fitzroy Crossing.

Port Hedland has resumed iron ore shipments after Tropical Cyclone Zelia battered WA's Pilbara. The port contributes more than $100 billion, or about four per cent, to the national economy each year. A supply chain expert warns the closure could have a "huge multiplier effect". As residents in Western Australia's north sift through the wreckage left by Tropical Cyclone Zelia, the "engine room" of the resource-rich region has purred back to life.

Record-breaking rainfall from Tropical Cyclone Zelia has closed major transport routes and left supermarket shelves in some areas stripped of goods. A section of Great Northern Highway has been closed since Thursday, and it's unclear at this stage when roads will reopen. Authorities are deploying more resources across the flood-affected areas to support the clean-up around Port and South Hedland and at nearby pastoral stations.

Displaced residents in Western Australia's north face a wait to be returned to their communities after the impact of Cyclone Zelia, with emergency services prioritising the effort to get evacuated people back to their homes. The Tropical Cyclone crossed the Pilbara coast near De Grey on Friday afternoon at category-four intensity, causing damage to towns and pastoral stations.

Not quite @DailyMailAU - Dr Ghasemi quoted 10 years of earthquake data. You'll find one decade doesn't "pre-date" the Pilbara's mining industry. Read the original story here: https://t.co/TL6qbfdolA https://t.co/BNRnc154g3
