Agreement on a $30 billion Kimberley gas hub is "the most significant act of self-determination by Aboriginal people in Australian history", West Australian Premier Colin Barnett says.
The agreement between traditional owners, Woodside Petroleum and the WA government was signed at state parliament on Thursday.
The deal with the Goolarabooloo Jabirr Jabirr people on a liquefied natural gas (LNG) precinct at James Price Point north of Broome includes $1.5 billion in benefits for indigenous communities over 30 years.
