Terrain partners with Traditional Owners to improve Indigenous engagement
Terrain NRM has spent the last five years building partnerships with Indigenous communities across the region to improve Indigenous engagement and participation in conservation activities.
The establishment of Terrain’s Traditional Owner Advisory Committee in 2004 has been a key component of these activities, addressing Traditional Owner aspirations for managing country in the region. The Committee’s work has recently resulted in the establishment of a devoted Traditional Owner engagement program within Terrain, and the appointment of a second Indigenous Director to Terrain’s management Board. This has enabled Terrain to provide significant financial and staff support to many Indigenous projects across the region, despite a significant lack of funding from State and Federal Government programs.
Inaugural Salt to Dust Western Queensland Traditional Owner Workshop
Traditional Owners and Indigenous land managers from across western Queensland came together recently for the Inaugural Salt to Dust Western Queensland Traditional Owner Workshop.
Held at Dugalunji Camp, Camooweal in June 2009, this workshop was the result of collaboration between Southern Gulf Catchments, Desert Channels Queensland and South West NRM, bringing together Traditional Owners and providing a forum to build capacity, network and learn from a diverse range of presenters about issues, initiatives and research that support Traditional Owners’ participation in and decision-making about country, culture and community.
Traditional owner collaboration across North Queensland
"In two years we finished 15 projects, which speaks for the relationship we have with Traditional Owners," said Leah Saltner, organiser for the NQ Dry Tropics Traditional Owner Management Group.
This Management Group represents 15 Traditional Owner groups across northern Queensland, and Leah’s job is to help the Group access information and funding for land and sea activities that are important to them. When the group started six years ago, it wanted to be the hub for Indigenous people interested in managing land and sea. Since that time, it has worked well towards this objective, supported by natural resource management group, NQ Dry Tropics, and continues to enjoy strong community support today.
Desert Channels: Crossing the Bridge
A Cross Cultural program run by Desert Channels Queensland and the Longreach State High School with year eight students met with great success, with attendance rates in classes at an all-time high.
The program, funded through the Federal Indigenous Cultural Heritage program, worked with year eight students in Longreach to create a bridge between Indigenous and non-Indigenous communities, said Jeff Poole, DCQ’s Indigenous Engagement Officer.
“When a year eight student doesn’t want to miss a class, it is a pretty good sign that a program is working,” he said.
Northern Gulf communities band together for flood recovery
Early in 2009, the Gulf of Carpentaria experienced severe flooding, causing significant damage to the tropical savannah environments, as well as to infrastructure, local industries and community morale. An active monsoon trough and several low pressure systems continuously flooded some areas of the Gulf for over 12 weeks. Millions of hectares were inundated, with some 90% of the savannah landscape lost or damaged, in some areas.
As a part of the local community, Northern Gulf Resource Management Group (NGRMG) leapt into action, supporting the Local Disaster Management Group, Queensland Emergency Services and the Etheridge Shire Council with mapping and GIS services, and hands-on relief support, including food and fuel resupply.
