An Indigenous group fighting the construction of a nuclear waste dump in South Australia will rally against the proposal this weekend.
The Barngarla traditional owners and their supporters will march through Port Augusta from midday on Saturday, about 150 kilometres from the Kimba dump site.
The Barngarla are also fighting the plan in the Federal Court, arguing they were not properly consulted by the previous federal coalition government in the site selection process.
"We do not want radioactive waste on our lands, we have been very clear about this," Barngarla Determination Aboriginal Corporation Chairman Jason Bilney said.
"We were ignored and excluded by the last government and we are asking federal Labor to right these wrongs and scrap the Kimba waste dump plan."
In November last year, the previous government announced it had acquired 211 hectares at Napandee, near Kimba, with the proposed facility subject to heritage, design and technical studies.
If constructed, the site would be used to store low-level nuclear waste currently spread across more than 100 facilities including universities and hospital basements.
The vast majority of nuclear waste in Australia is associated with the production of nuclear medicine.
