Provide support to facilitate economic and business opportunities for local Traditional Owners.
Why is it important?
A more inclusive approach recognises the knowledge of local Traditional Owners and the benefits of incorporating cultural values into projects. Many Traditional Owners have a strong connection to country and would benefit socially, culturally and economically from working on country.
Example of local actions:
Cultural burning practices.
Using cultural knowledge and practices to inform permits, permitting and statutory planning processes.
Expand Indigenous ranger programs.
