What are the potential benefits?
• Currently all bottled water is imported in to the lb h b l d h l llPilbara. This can be replaced with locally
bottled Pilbara water.
• Local training and employment
• Traditional Owners can convert R4R funding to their share in a new profitable Pilbara bottledtheir share in a new profitable Pilbara bottled water business
