Fortescue Metals Group’s (Fortescue) CEO for a Day program continues to empower and inspire
emerging Aboriginal leaders within the Company, by providing the opportunity to experience how
the business operates at the highest levels.
Bill Bennell, a Nyungar man from Western Australia’s South West, began his journey with
Fortescue in 2014 as a Heritage Field Officer before being promoted to Heritage Field Supervisor
at Fortescue’s operations in the Pilbara where he works alongside Traditional Custodians in
identifying and protecting important Aboriginal cultural heritage.
Today, he joined Fortescue Chief Executive Officer Elizabeth Gaines and members of the
leadership team for the release of the Company’s quarterly production results.
The Tasmanian Aboriginal community has welcomed the Hobart City Council’s decision to reject a development application to build a cable car on kunanyi/Mount Wellington.
The application was submitted by the Mount Wellington Cableway Company, which was defeated nine votes to three at a special Hobart City Council meeting last night.
“The land itself is a part of who we are, and we are a part of the land,” Aboriginal Heritage Officer with the Tasmanian Aboriginal Centre Sharnie Read said. One of the important parts of this whole saga is the lack of Aboriginal community members at the decision making process.

New Traditional Owner boundary now in place
Knox City Council acknowledges that we are on the traditional land of the Wurundjeri and Bunurong people of the Kulin Nation and pay our respects to elders both past and present.
On July 1 2021, new boundary variations came into effect following a decision made by the Victorian Aboriginal Heritage Council (VHAC) in relation to Registered Aboriginal Parties (RAPs).
The new boundary line runs from east to west across the city. It impacts the city of Knox with the majority of the municipality located on the traditional lands of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung, and the Southern section surrounding Wellington road area located on the traditional lands Bunurong.
