A massive natural gas project in north-west WA has been given the environmental go-ahead by the Federal Government.
The Pluto project is worth an estimated $12 billion, and includes an liquefied natural gas plant on the Burrup Peninsula to process gas from the field, almost 200km offshore from Karratha.
It's the second major gas project to win federal approval in the past week.
The Pluto project will face strict environmental criteria, including the protection of snakes and turtles, and waste management strategies.
The decision has angered environmental and aboriginal groups.
