INPEX is committed to contributing to the sustainable development of the communities in which we operate, improving social and economic well-being while minimising impact on the environment.
Through extensive support programs and engagement with all stakeholders, INPEX seeks to ensure that our host communities benefit from our Projects.
Creating Careers for Territorians
As part of our commitment to supporting sustainable Aboriginal economic development, INPEX and Ichthys Project joint venturer Total donated $3 million to the construction of Larrakia Trade Training Centre, built by the Larrakia Development Corporation in Darwin.
The Larrakia Trade Training Centre in Darwin provides students an opportunity to gain professional, practical skills leading to meaningful employment.
The centre and its dynamic new approach to training offers any student, Aboriginal or non-Aboriginal, young or mature age, the chance to gain practical life skills and meaningful employment through opportunities evolving in Darwin. These skills will help students build a brighter future for themselves and the Northern Territory.
While open to everyone, the centre provides unique support to Aboriginal students. Students learn professional, practical skills such as electrical, automotive mechanics, metal fabrication, plumbing, civil and general construction, refrigeration and mining.

Charles Darwin University
Work has begun on a new oil and gas training centre at Charles Darwin University: the North Australia Oil and Gas Institute. The Institute has been established to assist with resourcing the growing number of oil and gas projects in the Territory over the coming years. Charles Darwin University has been placed in the world's top 300 universities.
Djarindjin-Lombadina Airport
In 2009 INPEX signed an agreement with the Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation for the long-term management of the Djarindjin-Lombadina Airport in the Kimberley, Western Australia. The Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation own and operate the airport on behalf of the local Bardi Jawi people.
INPEX President Director Seiya Ito is welcomed by members of the Djarindjin Community
In 2009 INPEX signed an agreement with the Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation for the long-term management of the Djarindjin-Lombadina Airport in the Kimberley, Western Australia. The Djarindjin Aboriginal Corporation own and operate the airport on behalf of the local Bardi Jawi people.
In partnership with the Western Australian Government, we undertook a major upgrade to the airport which now guarantees access for emergency evacuation from the Browse Basin fields. The upgrade greatly improves safety for offshore rig workers, especially during cyclone and emergency evacuations.
For the people of Djarindjin, the agreement provides an income stream together with training and job opportunities.
