Future Economy
The closure of Rio Tinto’s Gove bauxite mine marks a turning point for Nhulunbuy and East Arnhemland. Rather than an end, Gumatj Corporation sees this as a catalyst for renewal - building a sustainable economic base that leverages existing infrastructure, local knowledge, and emerging industries.
This is not the end - it’s just the beginning.
Gumatj is leading the transformation, creating ideal conditions for investment in clean energy, advanced manufacturing, biofuels, space, and defence.
